Both teams struggled on offense. Especially from three. Brunson was struggling as well but he delivered in the clutch. Knicks should feel really good about this win. On paper they are the better shooting team and stole a game on an off night. They have more length to throw at Wemby than OKC and can actually switch without giving up mismatches. Did a really god job protecting Brunson. After the first three games of the Hawks series I thought that Brunson would be borderline unplayable in the playoffs but ever since they have found a way to keep him out of the pick and roll. Prevent isolations.
Mitch Johnson is just as inexperienced as his players and at times it shows. Spurs once again weren't able to set up Wemby in the paint. Was the same story in the series against OKC. Maybe just me but I would have closed the game with Harper. Harper already plays more like a vet than Fox and Castle. With those two on the floor it's pure chaos. Sometimes that's a good thing but against a half court defense like NY's it's a problem (just like in the OKC series). They still haven't found a solution for the Kornet minutes.
