    Funny how #24 Vassell didn’t box out Anouby, allowing him to get the late offensive rebound. All Vassell did was stare at the ball instead of finding opponent to box out. This is rebounding 101 in my country we learn this as 12 year olds….but in NBA, somehow they don’t teach players the RIGHT way to rebound, so that’s why you always see offensive rebounds defining games.

    If Wemby is going to keep playing offense outside the 3 point line he might as well be a 6 footer (1:27, 2:30, 4:33, 5:39). With his height he should be an unsolvable terror inside the paint. Miss the centers of the 80's 90's.

    Victor Wembanyama, you'll become the face of the league, that much is obvious. Such a force already at 20 years old.

    But oh my god, ESPN. Why did you guys have to ruin the coverage by going nuts at every little thing he did including breathing?

    Credit to Bridges for going crazy. Everyone has been hating and homie got us a win with some clutch ass shooting.

    Knicks get my applause. A close game and they all contributed big time but I must say oh that Josh Hart just too valuable and under appreciated at times. Of course hats off to Bridges he's earning his spot for sure.

    Premium hoops! Just driving in the paint, mid range shots and great defense. It wasn’t a full chucking 3s snore fest. NBA, buddy, this is what we love! Thank you Knicks and Spurs.

    Wemby was soo tired shame…. he needs to get fitter…. i dont get why he was not hanging at the paint and using his height to score…. he shots 3s and misses when his tired….he should be scoring easily around the basket… but they dont want him hurt there.

  32. @SellenaCruz

    Superior hoops! Just mid-range shots, excellent defense, and driving in the paint. It wasn't an all-out snorefest with tossing 3s. This is what we love about the NBA, buddy! Spurs and Knicks, thank you.
