NBA championships are almost always won by climbing a ladder rather than riding a rocket. In the three previous years, the Knicks played 42 playoff games. Zero for the Spurs. The difference in experience kept showing up down the stretch. I became a believer that the Knicks had what it took when I turned on their Game 6 close-out opportunity at Atlanta in the second quarter and the Knicks were in the 70s and the Hawks were in the 20s. That doesn't happen and it was a clear message that the team had hit another level.

Lowest in-game win probability in their four Finals wins: 8.4%; 27.2%; 0.4%; 4.6%.

Harper's missed layup was brutal....wide open and short armed a big basket......

Harper is not a winner.

Kid is 20 years old. He only had one game all series where we didn’t shoot over .500 from the field.
Josh Hart blew a layup in game 4 that nearly cost them the game. Stuff happens in the playoffs.
Awfully early to hang that on the kid. He’s going to be an excellent player for a long time.
