Hour 2: Knicks Take Game 1 and Finally Become Title Favorites

The Knicks are three wins from an NBA championship, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down why Game 1 felt like more than just an opening win. After falling behind by 14 and surviving a late Spurs push, the Knicks closed strong, became slight title favorites, and showed the kind of resilience that has defined their playoff run. Evan and Tiki dig into Jalen Brunson’s postgame reaction to courtside fans, the debate over whether the Knicks stole the game or simply took it, Victor Wembanyama’s surprising “myself” answer about who he wants to win for, Mitchell Robinson’s hand injury, OG Anunoby’s huge fourth quarter stretch, and the latest uncertainty surrounding Aaron Judge’s injury.
