The Spurs kept following the same recipe.
Add The New York Post on Googlesaw them choke away a 29-point lead at the Garden, the Spurs again let a double-digit lead slip away with an ugly second half on Saturday night, particularly a bad fourth quarter, in their season-endingBut things seemed to unravel a bit before that.
After Stephon Castle hit a free throw with 2:25 left in the third quarter, the Spurs went up 70-55 and appeared to be shutting down any hopes of a Knicks comeback. Jason Szenes for the New York PostVictor Wembanyama, the all-world Spurs big man, basically disappeared in the fourth quarter, going 1-for-5 from the field.
In just the final two minutes, he missed one of his two free throws and clanked two 3-point attempts to all but seal the Knicks’ victory. He had a team-high 19 points with 14 rebounds, but it was not enough as the Knicks stormed back once again to take their first title since 1973. It was eerily similar to how he closed out Game 4, when he had just two points with no rebounds in the final 9:30.
