Bomani Jones reacts to one of the wildest NBA playoff endings in recent memory as the New York Knicks storm back against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. After the Spurs dominated the first half and looked ready to take control of the series, everything fell apart late — from rushed shots and questionable coaching decisions to De’Aaron Fox’s brutal second-half execution.
Bomani breaks down why this collapse reminded him of infamous football meltdowns like the Houston Oilers blowing a 35-3 lead and the Atlanta Falcons’ 28-3 Super Bowl disaster. He explains why San Antonio’s inability to slow the game down, manage the clock, and protect a massive lead turned a dominant performance into an all-time choke.
The conversation also gets into Wemby’s missed free throws, OG Anunoby’s incredible game-winning tip-in, Jalen Brunson’s late-game shot-making, Josh Hart nearly becoming the story for the wrong reason, and why Madison Square Garden’s nervous energy makes Knicks playoff games feel different. Bomani also questions whether the Knicks’ comeback was more about their resilience or San Antonio completely losing control.
Plus, Bomani discusses the NBA’s ongoing officiating discourse, why ref talk takes over every playoff conversation, how social media fuels conspiracy theories, and what to expect in Game 5 as the Spurs try to avoid letting one loss beat them twice.
