First 90 secondsDave DuFour· Host0:00
[upbeat music] Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily. I'm Dave Dufau here with Esparra Henney.
Esfandiar Baraheni· Host0:09
We can really call it morning.
Dave DuFour· Host0:11
It actually is morning.
Esfandiar Baraheni· Host0:11
Yeah.
Dave DuFour· Host0:11
It's, uh, 20 minutes to 1:00 AM Eastern Time at MSG, where the Spurs stay alive by winning game three 115-111.
Esfandiar Baraheni· Host0:22
Yeah.
Dave DuFour· Host0:23
Es, we thought maybe- Maybe ... that it was over. And the Knicks, I think, still gave the Spurs a scare late game. You know, Jalen Brunson, 12 points in the fourth quarter.
Esfandiar Baraheni· Host0:35
Huge OG Anunoby shot. Yeah.
Dave DuFour· Host0:36
Huge An- Anunoby game.
Esfandiar Baraheni· Host0:38
Yeah.
Dave DuFour· Host0:39
But just not quite enough for the Spurs, who kinda figured some things out it seems between game two and game three.
Esfandiar Baraheni· Host0:45
Yeah. Uh, they made their adjustments.
Dave DuFour· Host0:47
Mm-hmm.
Esfandiar Baraheni· Host0:47
You know? Uh, they've been toying around with the idea of Wemby guarding Josh Hart- Yeah ... having him roam around, but they fully committed to it in this game.
Dave DuFour· Host0:55
Mm-hmm.
Esfandiar Baraheni· Host0:56
Uh, they decided that we're okay with Josh Hart knocking down threes, and he, to his credit, like Josh did his job.
Dave DuFour· Host1:01
He stuck some threes.
Esfandiar Baraheni· Host1:02
He knocked down four threes. But ultimately I think that changed the complexion of this game for the Spurs defensively. Uh, they were able to force turnovers. Knicks had 13 turnovers. A lot of weird ones too.
Dave DuFour· Host1:11
You know what? I w- we can say, yeah, they forced turnovers 'cause, you know, it's how you talk about the sport. Truth is, a lot of unforced errors.
Esfandiar Baraheni· Host1:18
A lot of bad ones for the Knicks too. Yeah ...
Dave DuFour· Host1:19
a lot of just throwing the ball away, and the game started that way for the Knicks. And I almost wonder if maybe the disruption of their pre-game routine- Hmm ... you know, both teams had to get here-
