Summary
The Knicks are one win away from a championship after one of the most incredible playoff comebacks you'll ever see. Trysta breaks down whether this was more about New York's resilience or one of the biggest chokes in NBA playoff history, and why this comeback perfectly embodies the Knicks' identity.
She also dives into Victor Wembanyama's late-game struggles, the pressure mounting on the Spurs, and what San Antonio must do to climb out of a 3-1 hole. Plus, Trysta makes the case that Jalen Brunson is having one of the greatest clutch playoff runs the NBA has ever seen and previews what could be a season-defining Game 5.
