Toasted just enough. A reliable bake, gently seasoned.
Summary
The article discusses Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs. The author observes that the Spurs appeared unable to win after a poor second quarter where they lost a 12-point lead, Stephon Castle was benched with foul trouble, three-point shooting declined, and Victor Wembanyama was passive on offense. The author acknowledges the Spurs' competitive second-half effort despite these struggles.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledSometime around the end of the second quarter was the first time I thought that the San Antonio Spurs could not win Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
The Knicks had ended the half up 4 after being down as much as 12 to the Spurs.
Victor Wembanyama, who tends to dictate the direction any Spurs game goes in, had been completely timid on offense, barely even touching the ball.
I commend the Spurs for the way they fought in the second half.
