Justin, Rob and Kyle catch their breath enough to fire up the microphones after a historic Game 4 of the NBA Finals. They kick things off breaking down the finer details of OG Anunoby’s absurd game-winning tip-in before shifting to the Spurs’ side and discussing De’Aaron Fox’s questionable decision making down the stretch. The guys then move into talking through how much of the game was the Knicks coming back vs. the Spurs melting down and whether or not it’s possible for San Antonio to recover after such an epic collapse. Then, they close things out with their final thoughts heading into Game 5.
