We won! We won! Free throws 32 to 22! Wembanyama knocked down Brunson.

Kung Fu plus basketball, is there any potential...

In particular, Wembanyama grabbed Brunson's head from behind and knocked him to the ground with a single palm. This move was highly controversial, but the referee showed no reaction.

However, Brunson was not so lucky. Champagnie accidentally stepped on Brunson's foot after landing from a three-pointer, resulting in a Flagrant 1 foul on Brunson. Commentator Zhou Qi said, "This call is so fake."

As the Knicks' primary offensive core, Brunson received special attention from the Spurs as usual, accompanied by many intense physical plays. Unfortunately, he seemed not to be favored, resulting in some unfair calls against him.

Back to the game, the Knicks led the Spurs 2-0 on the road in the first two games of the Finals, and Game 3 returned to their home court.

In this game, the two teams traded blows. In the first quarter, the Spurs led 33-22. In the second quarter, the Knicks responded with a 42-24 run against the Spurs.

In the third quarter, led by Wembanyama, the Spurs took center stage again, outscoring the Knicks 35-27 in the quarter to take the lead, entering the decisive fourth quarter with a slim 1-point advantage.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs displayed suffocating defensive intensity, as impenetrable as a spider web, making every Knicks offense difficult. Even the "King of the Fourth Quarter" Brunson found it hard to dominate as he usually does.

Ultimately, the Spurs narrowly won on the Knicks' home court, taking the game 115-111 to pull one back, though they still trail 1-2 in the Finals., But at least they avoided the embarrassment of being swept, and it shows they have the strength to win the series and claim the championship.
