{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"The WORST collapse in NBA Finals history","description":"The Spurs were up 29 in an NBA Finals game and lost. We are still not sure we believe it.\n\nMo Mooncey and 2x NBA champion coach Brendan Suhr break down the night the San Antonio Spurs handed the New York Knicks a 3-1 series lead, with OG Anunoby tipping in the winner and De'Aaron Fox unravelling down the stretch.\n\nThis one is all about the collapse. We go possession by possession through the final two minutes: the turnovers, the contested layup OG turned away, the inbounds defense that left the game-winner wide open, and the missed free throws. Brendan explains why \"time and score\" is the lesson the Spurs never learned, why Mike Brown out-coached Mitch Johnson for a fourth straight game, and why those lobs to Victor Wembanyama are doing him no favours.\n\nWe also make the case for OG Anunoby as Finals MVP, dig into the flagrant foul rule that could cost Wembanyama a game, and ask whether the public is about to turn Wemby into a villain the way it once did with LeBron. Plus a few stories that have nothing to do with basketball and everything to do with why you keep coming back.\n\nGame 5 is Saturday, with Mo on the call for Amazon Prime.
