ESPN impressed by Wemby with a CAREER-HIGH 40 PTS, as the Spurs beat the Knicks 130-126 in OT!

State area out of dealer today in San Antonio jayen Brunson 61 points second most by a Nick in a game one off the 62 from Melo back in 2014 Victor W bayama puts the Spurs up by four 112 to go in OT with a shot clock winding down Bron

Going for the record and the wind down two with 5 Seconds to go and 0 no pressures in Che then throws it away and oh the Knicks were down until late in the fourth quarter they took the lead they hung in there and then they end up losing in overtime 130

To126 we continue until April the 2nd at 11:00 a.m. with our guard of Dreams fundraiser $100 buys you a chance to win one of these great prizes and your proceeds go to benefit the garden of dreams and the mission is what it has always been and is so important helping

Game from our Delta MSD Studios Bill pedo along with alen Han so if Brunson makes that three he sets the single game record for most points scored by a Nick in a game and the Knicks win the game as it is they end up losing by two yeah

They were trying to go home because you could see how exhausted they were and what we witnessed tonight was the president of the Knicks and a great player that they have developed here in Jaylen Brunson and you also witnessed the future of the NBA and Victor weano

With a a 4020 performance for the ages including a huge three-pointer a 27f footer with the Knicks just pushing and pushing and pushing and him pushing back getting the win for his team this was a classic second half and on for a Knicks team that did not have a very good first

Half of this game they did struggle early on defensively but they also showed you that resiliency that this Nick team does which they will never let go of the Rope they will never give you a game you’re going to have to take it from them and when Jaylen Brunson got

Cooking in that second half he had a feeling we were in for a special night and we certainly were he didn’t get the franchise record but for him the bigger deal is that they didn’t get the win that will bother him more than anything else Knicks were down by 21 at one point

In the first half their first lead came with four minutes to go but they end up losing this is important now obviously as we head down the stretch with the Cavs winning and the magic losing here’s what we have the Bucks didn’t play tonight Nicks are fourth they are now a

Half game behind the Cavs for third and two games behind the bucks for second next game for the Knicks home Sunday against OKC schedule gets tougher a little bit now as the Knicks now complete this stretch of four games against under 500 teams and they go

Three and one it was almost 4-0 tonight and it would have been an amazing win as it was Allen it was an amazing game and a fourth quarter was amazing to watch yes and where the Knicks just kept pushing it felt like they just couldn’t they they made it close in the third

Quarter but they just couldn’t get a lead couldn’t get a lead but they had to keep chipping away and chipping away and a young team like the Spurs they were going to succumb and Jaylen Brunson just was on one knocks down that three Nicks are down six is steal by Duce McBride

And gets the dunk and now suddenly at the four-point game Nicks just kept pushing and then you find Dante D venzo and suddenly it’s a one-point game and Greg poic had to call a timeout but they had no answers for Brunson they were trying to throw doubles at him he was

Doing a ton of iso in this game but Deon Vel we talk a lot about about W bayama I think Vel made some huge shots to keep the Knicks at Bay certainly as well how about leaving divon chenza wide open you ever see a fast break three-pointer you

Did right there and the Knicks took a 113 112 win Brunson makes it 115 113 and it’s just back and forth we go the Knicks had a two-point lead and then there’s the moment right here he’s just so tall Isaiah hartstein is a seven-footer and that made him look

Small with the tip in the tie it and then Brunson right here to make it 121 119 free throws sent us to overtime and I mean Bill overtime the Knicks really seem like they ran out of gas at that point as it just Brunson here makes this

One shot he ended up making only two of his last nine from the field as they were putting a ton of pressure on him defensively watch this shot right here though back off one leg 27f footer and a little shimmy you got it like that you

Got to respect that out of him the put back here look at the Battle now you worry about Mitchell Robinson who was limping on that leg but he made that play a tough play and there’s Brunson going for the win to just try to steal one and run home precious aoua maybe not

Realizing time score and situation kicks that out instead of just putting it back up which would have tied the score all right look at the numbers here uh 130 for the Spurs 126 for the Knicks Knicks had the best defense so far in the league in March giving up 955 points per

Game and the SP obviously went to overtime but they gave up 130 they scored 126 the way it’s been going for the next one they scored 126 they normally win but W bayama was fantastic he had 40 he had a career high 40 points 20 rebounds he was amazing to watch uh

Made big shots though that three there remember they’re up one 112 to go OT shot clock ticking down and he hit that three to put him up by four Dirk s kind of 3-2 the way he kind of sat back when he took it he had plenty of space he

Knows he can shoot over anybody you put on him there’s no one as big as him in this league Chad Homan comes close but not even close when you consider his also High release so for him he’s not worried about getting a shot blocked it’s all about just getting squared and

Being in Rhythm and he found his rhythm he had four three-pointers in this game so it wasn’t just him using his size around the basket it was him also showing off the skill factor that he had in this game as well let’s also point out he a seven assists in this game

Early on making some great passes he is just a special player I have said this before people think I’m crazy but I’m not when you look at him him and you look at all the factors of a next face of the NBA he’s got it because he’s got the compelling size something very

Different about him and his game but he also has a Swagger to him he’s got Charisma and he’s somebody that can bring it every single night and you saw that this season the fear was he couldn’t handle the NBA the rigors of the travel he was a 19 y old skinny kid

Coming in would he be able would he get hurt he has played this is his 65th game so now he’s eligible for all postseason Awards rookie of the year is a lock might as well start carving his name into that trophy right now he could be all defensive team as well there’s a

Couple of other things you can consider for him but he is just showing you late in the season the type of player that everybody projected he could be the next LeBron kind of impact player for the NBA want to point out and you mentioned in the Highlight that Divan chenzo hit a

Three he had enough threes tonight to pass Evan for oh by the way little secondary storyline here he’s get the most threes by a Nick in a single season as he passes Evan forer’s Mark with his efforts tonight so Brunson had 21 in the first half he had 40 in the second half

In overtime and 24 in the third quarter that third quarter is when you kind of had a feeling CU that’s when the Knicks came back into the game yes the 21 was sort of like Brunson was the only one really getting anything done offensively but then that that third quarter happened

And you’re like okay he’s on one and you could see even he was making faces about himself and the shots he was making and the Rhythm he was getting into and what was odd was that the Spurs were playing him one-on-one for the longest time and he was just taking his one-on-one

Knowing there was no matchup he couldn’t beat and there was a time later in that fourth quarter where they were clearing out one side this was almost like kobees in fact you see the 47 field goal attempts he’s the first player since Kobe’s last game to take 47 KOB

Attempted 50 in that last and he took 47 but last night Deontay Murray had 44 Brunson here now just onepoint shy of the franchise record and that three would have given him the franchise record had he knocked it down trying to go for the win but what a performance

For Jaylen Brunson tonight just just short of trying to get that comeback win so it’s a great night to participate in our garden of dream fundraiser because with $100 one of the prizes that you can win is a jayen Brunson autograph Jersey and what and that that that would be a

Nice well think about the bragging rights here to win you get that Jersey you could tell all your friends not only is an autograph Jaylen Brunson Jersey but I I I bought it on an auction on the night he put up 61 points so there’s a

Lot you can tell behind the story of that one and there’s certainly still a lot of things here to be part of as well not just the home opener in the future and everything else John Starks who doesn’t love John Starks Brunson Jersey we talked to you about Randall Hart OG
