Vassell, double-team, back up top. The Spurs have led by double figures in each of the first quarters. Castle turns it over. Towns double-team. Bridges cross-court. Brunson, wide open. Gets a chance to bounce it, and nails the three. And there's a reason he is playing with such confidence right now. Bounds, kicks it out, and an OB gets a clean look. Three-pointer's good. Knocks it down. He is shooting. They're already putting an OG on Harper, a bigger defender. And an OB with the steal. Took it away from Champagny. Goes right at Harper. Bullets his way in. Bank shot. Can't get it. Fox keeps it alive. There have been very few easy possessions for the Knicks. Brunson falling away. Jumper. That goes. Fox guarding Brunson. Champagny quickly picks him up. Shot clock winding down again. Long three-pointer. Jalen Brunson, the three. Alvarado picks up Castle. Six on the 24. Castle gets in the paint. Drives. Towns right there. Blocked by Towns.

When he's got that much space coming out of the backcourt, he is going to stop in rhythm. Just rims out. Gasol. Cornette. Poked away by Antonovi. Another steal for the defensive demon. Hart drives. Count the bucket and a foul. To see if it was any more than just a regular common foul. Checking to see if this foul meets the criteria for a player foul. I think that's not the best angle.

He gets it. Finishes Jalen Brunson down. Brunson gets into this three-point shot right here. There's no doubt he takes away his space on a closeout. It's going to be a flagrant.
