The same great quality, the same great taste, the same smoothness. Please drink responsibly and stay safe. The Knicks, thought that place was a buzz. I mean, I've never seen the guard like that before in my life. And I've seen a lot of big games there. I haven't been, you know, been to a few games, but nothing, but that atmosphere was electric. I thought that roof was literally going to leave the building.
The Spurs beat the Knicks 115 to 111, Victor Wemby and Yama 32 points, eight rebounds, six assists, two steals, three blocks. He joins KD, LeBron and Duncan as the only players with those numbers in a finals game. Stephon Castle, 23 points, five rebounds, five assists, eight of 14 from the floor. Only Tony Parker and Magic Johnson had 25 and five in a game at a younger age. Wemby and Stephon Castle are the first two players, 22 years or younger to both have 20 plus points or more in a finals game.
Joe, the Spurs had to come out and they come out and this is the third time. They've had a double digit lead early, only to have the Knicks to wipe it out. But the difference between tonight and the previous nights when they've had those double digit leads, they said, no, we're not going away.
We're not going to succumb to the pressure that you've applied to us. Even though the Knicks got out to a what? Six, seven point lead, they erased it. And those guys played hard. They got great contribution. Sham Penny, I don't know why you didn't give him the ball in the second half the other night, but you see him some big shots in the second half, Joe. This was an unbelievable ball game.
I'm not going to be surprised if we go back to San Antonio tied 2-2, but let's talk about tonight's game, Joe. What were the Spurs able to do from start to finish that were able to win this ball game and make it a 2-1 series? Ochocinco, close your eyes, baby. I'm telling you, I've been with the Monks. I've been amongst the Monks.
