Knicks Win NBA Finals 2026: How Jalen Brunson Outdueled Wembanyama and the Spurs

Shot Clock Pod: Knicks Win 2025-26 Title as Spurs Falter Late https://thepeachbasket.net/spurs-vs-k... Jose Salviati and Steve Purciello recap the 2025-26 NBA Finals after the New York Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs in five games to win their third championship and first since 1973, finishing a dominant 16-3 playoff run. They review games 3–5, arguing the series turned on San Antonio’s lack of a late-game closer and questionable coaching by Mitch Johnson, highlighting Game 4’s blown 27-point halftime lead, De’Aaron Fox’s late blocked layup decision, missed box-outs on OG Anunoby’s tip-in, and a costly late rebound out of bounds in Game 5. They discuss Wembanyama’s need to get stronger, play closer to the basket, and improve shooting consistency, praise rookie Dillon Harper’s future, question Fox’s fit, and suggest the Knicks’ title may be a one-off fueled by hot shooting and timely breaks. They also note Atlanta’s two wins over the Knicks but say the Hawks need a true big man and lack a clear top-10 star. 00:00 Welcome to Shot Clock 00:53 Support the Network 01:34 Finals Setup and Knicks Run 02:32 Game 3 Spurs Adjustments 04:39 Closer Debate and Fox Swap 07:20 Game 4 First Half Blowout 08:50 Game 4 Collapse and Coaching 10:05 Fox Endgame Mistake 13:40 OG Tip In and Box Out 16:20 Wemby Positioning and Luck 18:18 Coach Under Fire 18:53 Fox Versus Harper 19:47 No Go To Play 21:53 Game Five Breakdown 22:24 Costly Rebound Blunder 24:16 Wemby Shot Chart Shock 25:49 How To Fix Wemby 28:39 Knicks Dynasty Debate 31:23 Atlanta Future Outlook 32:50 Season Wrap Up
