Episode Description

By Jeff Garcia, Spurs In Focus

The San Antonio Spurs blew a 29-point lead in Game 4 of the NBA Finals versus the Knicks and now face elimination in Game 5.

Host Jeff Garcia and Rudy Campos of The Sports Answer break down everything that went wrong in Manhattan — from Mitch Johnson’s questionable defensive calls on Jalen Brunson’s last shot, to De’Aaron Fox’s decision not to run the clock, to the complete collapse of bench depth in the second half.

Then they look ahead to Game 5 back home at the Frost Bank Center: What adjustments need to be made? Does Dylan Harper need to take over? Can this young team shake off the trauma of one of the worst blown leads in NBA Finals history?

Plus — Vegas lines, Game 5 predictions, the possibility of a team breakup down the road, and what happens if the Knicks clinch the title in San Antonio.
