| 0:13.2 | ABA finals. It's the New York Knickerbockers, of course, and the Spurs and adding a little mystery to the Mitchell Robinson injury. |
| 0:23.9 | Both teams in San Antonio ahead of tomorrow's game one will be meeting the media today. |
| 0:29.8 | But Mitchell Robinson will not be meeting the media today, which of course opens up a bit of a Pandora's box into how he's |
