NBA Finals Takeaways: Anunoby delivers defining moment as Knicks near title

Published

5 days ago

11 June 2026

Officially, historically, the craziest NBA Finals game of all time.

In the space of 48 minutes, you had the San Antonio Spurs setting an NBA Finals record for made threes in a half (14) and the largest lead by a road team through the first two quarters (27 points). It seemed like what had already been a remarkable Finals in so many ways was going to get just a little bit weirder: with the veteran New York Knicks and upstart Spurs heading into Game 5 tied at 2-2, neither team having won a game on its home court.

But the craziness was just getting started, with the Knicks eventually making the greatest comebacks in NBA Finals history.

After allowing the Spurs to shoot 59.6 per cent in the first half — including 53.8 per cent from three — and forcing just two turnovers and absolutely killing the atmosphere in Madison Square Garden along the way, the Knicks decided to play some defence in the second half. That, combined with some regression in San Antonio’s shooting, a rising energy in the Garden and the youthful Spurs — for one of the few times in this post-season run — looking like a team that relies heavily on a rookie (Dylan Harper), a second-year player (Stephon Castle) and a third-year superstar (Victor Wembanyama). The possessions got rushed. Too many hasty threes were settled for, and suddenly the Spurs couldn’t hang onto the ball. The Knicks cut what was a 29-point Spurs lead with 9:40 to play in the third quarter to 15 to start the fourth.

But even with that, the Spurs pushed their advantage to 20 with 9:33 left in the gam, when Wembanyama tipped in his own missed lay-up.

But then everything fell apart — for the Spurs at least.

The team that couldn’t miss in the first half made just eight field goals on 39 attempts in the second half, 4-of-19 in the fourth quarter. After setting an NBA record for three-point shooting in the first half, they shot 3-of-17 from deep in the second. After making just two turnovers in the first half, they made five in each of the third and fourth quarters.

It was a total collapse, punctuated in some ways by Wembanyama — an 86 per cent free-throw shooter through these playoffs — missing three free throws in the fourth quarter, including a pair with 1:47 left and the Spurs clinging to a one-point lead. He had 23 points, 13 rebounds and three blocked shots, but was just 9-of-25 from the floor.

Meanwhile, the Knicks and Knicks fans will long celebrate the greatest single game in the history of one of the NBA’s charter franchises, going back to 1946.

It culminated in a hard-to-believe 107-106 win that gave the Knicks a 3-1 lead as the series shifts back to San Antonio for Game 5 on Saturday, where the Spurs will have to win to avoid elimination.

Most NBA players go their entire careers without making a meaningful play to decide an NBA Finals game. Knicks star OG Anunoby made two legacy-defining plays in the final 11 seconds of Game 4 that will make him the toast of New York for the rest of his life, should the Knicks close out the Spurs and win their first title in 53 years. On the first play, when he tracked down Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox in transition, it appeared that the speedy Fox was going to be able to take a long rebound and sneak by the Knicks’ defence for a lay-up that would have put the Spurs up by three with 11 seconds to play. Nope. Anunoby — as he does so many times on transition plays in the series — was able to turn away the certain seeming score.

That was only to set up the biggest play he’ll likely ever have in his career. With the Knicks down by one and just 4.3 seconds left, it was looking very much like their historic comeback was going to fall just short. Instead, Anunoby ran into the lane following a Jalen Brunson three-point attempt, timed his leap perfectly and managed to tip the long rebound gently back into the rim with his right hand at least one foot above it. Bedlam.

The Knicks were able to defend the Spurs’ last chance off an inbounds pass with 1.2 seconds left.

The block and the tip-in capped as complete an all-around game as is possible to play for a (superstar) ‘role’ player who took just 15 shots but scored 33 points while going 7-of-9 from three. As well, he took turns guarding — to great effect — everyone from Wembanyama at seven-foot-four, fighting him at the rim, to Fox, squaring up the Spurs guard on the perimeter down the stretch in the fourth quarter.

The playoffs are, by definition, full of noisy information that gets overemphasized based on the outcome of each game. The Spurs led the first three games in the final two minutes but won only one of them. Would the information we’ve gleaned to this point in the series mean any less or any more had they won two of them, or all three? The difference splitting the Knicks and Spurs through six halves of the most intense basketball imaginable was seven points.

But what the heck, the games have to mean something, right?

There were at least three data points that seemed correlated to each team’s success heading into Game 4. The first was the ratio of Wembanyama’s shots in the restricted area to shots from the three-point line. In the Spurs’ two losses, it was 4:3. In their Game 3 win, it was more than 2:1. In Game 4? Wembanyama took eight threes (making just two) and 11 shots at the rim, so it would seem that when Wembanyama is more focused on getting shots off around the restricted area, the better off the Spurs are.

Another was turnovers. It’s been a low-turnover series, given how physical the defence has been, but in the first three games, the team that came out ahead in the turnover margin won. That the Spurs turned it over only eight times total — less even than the paltry 13.5 they averaged during the regular season, which was the fourth-best mark in the NBA — was one of the key underlying reasons the Spurs won in Game 3.

In Game 4? Turnovers were arguably the story of the game. When the Spurs jumped out to a 27-point first-half lead, they had a 7-2 advantage in turnovers. When the Knicks beat the Spurs by 28 points in the second half, it was New York that had the turnover advantage, 10-7.

One trend that was constant through the first three games was the Knicks’ advantage on the offensive glass. They came into Game 4 with a 36-20 edge in that category, winning the battle in all three games, with a commensurate edge in second-chance points. That trend reversed itself in Game 4, with the Spurs having a 12-8 advantage in offensive rebounds, but missing 31 shots in the second half probably had a lot to do with that. And then again, the Knicks got the most important offensive rebound of the series on Anunoby’s soaring, game-winning tip-in.

Brunson in a no-win situation, but still wins

Prior to meeting the Spurs, and as the Knicks were layering onto one of the most dominant runs in NBA playoff history, Brunson was just his typical superstar self. In the first three rounds of the playoffs, the Knicks star was averaging 26.9 points over 14 games, along with 6.6 assists and 2.3 turnovers with an effective field goal percentage (capturing the value of two and three-point field goals) of 54.1, all numbers very close to his season averages (26/6.8/2.4 with an eFG of 53.3). As well, his usage rate stayed pretty constant — 30.4 per cent in the regular season compared to 30.7 in the first three playoff rounds. But against the Spurs and the relentless defensive pressure they can put on him, Brunson’s efficiency has cratered.

If the Spurs were able to knock two-time MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander off his game, it makes sense that Brunson — about five inches shorter than the Thunder star — would struggle. He came into Game 4 with an effective field goal percentage of 41.4. Among qualified players, the lowest eFG during the regular season was New Orleans Pelicans rookie guard Jeremiah Fears at 48.5. But what has possibly hurt the Knicks more is that his usage rate has skyrocketed, jumping from 30.7 over the first 14 playoff games to 39.6 in three games against the Spurs. The reason is that the Spurs don’t have to trap him and can put pressure on him without automatically sending a second defender. Brunson has to put in more work to put up worse shots.

But Brunson finds a way. He got rolling in Game 4, delivering his best game of the series when the Knicks absolutely needed it, as he finished with a game-high 36 points on 12-of-25 shooting. He scored 19 seemingly inconsequential points in the first half when it seemed like they were just going to be empty calories. To his credit, Brunson kept his foot on the gas. And then — as he does — he delivered clutch score after clutch score down the stretch in the fourth quarter, taking advantage of the Knicks going to a smaller lineup, spreading the floor and dragging Wembanyama from the rim. It was Brunson’s driving floater with 1:22 left that gave the Knicks their first lead and set the Garden on fire.

Wembanyama picked up a flagrant foul in the third quarter for an inadvertent elbow to the jaw of Karl-Anthony Towns. There was no intent and Wembanyama instantly apologized for catching Towns as he tried to break free of the Knicks star’s meaty hands. But the NBA doesn’t allow for a lot of leeway for contact to the head that isn’t a result of a play on the ball. But it was a non-call on a very intentional shot to the head — in this case, Brunson’s head — in Game 3 that could have an outsized role in the series. One of the NBA’s disciplinary measures is that, as flagrant fouls accumulate, they can result in an automatic suspension. A flagrant 1 — like the foul Wembanyama was called for on Game 4 — is worth one point. A flagrant 2 – where a foul is deemed intentional and dangerous — results in an instant ejection and is worth two points. A player who accumulates four total flagrant foul points over the course of the post-season is suspended for the next game.

This is why — some might remember — Draymond Green was suspended for Game 5 of the NBA Finals in 2016. It wasn’t because he kicked LeBron James in the groin; it was because the flagrant foul gave him four flagrant foul points for the playoffs. Since Wembanyama picked up a flagrant 2 for a nasty elbow to the head of Naz Reid of the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round, his elbow to Towns’ jaw now gives him three flagrant foul points. If he picks up one more flagrant foul in Game 5 or 6, he’ll be suspended for the following game (the suspensions don’t take effect until after the game). The Knicks would argue that he should already have been suspended for his shove on Brunson in Game 3.

Bud Cauley’s win has PGA Tour’s hottest driver rolling into U.S. Open

Published

16 June 2026

NewsAdmin

Just a week after the Titleist GTS driver earned its first win, Bud Cauley put it in the winner’s circle again.

Last week, J.T. Poston won the Memorial with the GTS3. On Sunday, Cauley won the RBC Canadian Open with the deeper CG GTS2, giving Titleist’s newest driver line some serious momentum as we enter the year’s third major championship.

Cauley was one of the earliest converts to the GTS2, making the move in his first start after its Tour launch at the Valero Texas Open. That week in Texas, he told reps he loved the stability and spin consistency he got compared to his old gamer, as well as the sound and feel. He noted a touch more launch as well in an 8.0-degree head with an 11g weight forward and a 5g weight in the rear.

Since his move, Cauley has jumped 44 spots in the PGA Tour’s SG: Off-The-Tee ranking, going from losing 0.138 strokes per round (109th on Tour) to picking up just under a tenth of a stroke (0.09, 65th).

Last week at the RBC Canadian Open, he gained more than two-and-a-half shots on the field (17th) as he won for the first time on the PGA Tour in 239 starts.

He’s far from the only player who will use a GTS driver at this week’s U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills. In addition to Poston, several of Titleist’s big-name staff players, such as Justin Thomas (GTS2), Jordan Spieth (GTS2) and Cameron Young (GTS3), have made the move to the new driver platform.

Even gear-free agents like Maverick McNealy (GTS3) and Harry Hall (GTS3) have added the driver in recent weeks. In total, more than 65 players currently game a GTS driver.

How Lukaku Changed the Game as Belgium Held Egypt in World Cup Opener

Published

16 June 2026

Belgium needed a spark, and Romelu Lukaku delivered it again — even without touching the ball for the equaliser — as they rescued a 1-1 draw against Egypt in their World Cup Group G opener in Seattle.

Egypt had taken the lead in the 21st minute through Emam Ashour, who struck a superb 20-yard shot into the bottom corner past Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

The African side stayed strong for much of the match, with Mohamed Salah and Ashour both going close to extending their lead. But everything changed when Lukaku was introduced in the 66th minute.

Just moments after coming on, Lukaku’s presence made the difference.

Belgium sent in a low cross from Thomas Meunier, and under pressure from Lukaku’s movement inside the box, Egypt defender Mohamed Hany turned the ball into his own net.

It was not a goal credited to Lukaku, but his impact was clear. His movement, strength, and positioning forced Egypt into a mistake at a key moment, shifting the momentum of the match.

Before that, Belgium had already started to grow into the game, with Kevin De Bruyne hitting the post from a free-kick. But Lukaku’s introduction gave them a sharper attacking edge and forced Egypt deeper.

Egypt, who are still chasing their first ever World Cup win after eight attempts, were left frustrated after doing much of the hard work early in the match.

Belgium coach Rudi Garcia will be pleased that his tactical change paid off quickly, with Lukaku once again showing why he remains such an important figure for the Red Devils.

In the end, it was Lukaku’s presence — not his finishing — that made the difference in a game Belgium might otherwise have lost.

Golf’s next megastar is at the U.S. Open. And a bogey best tells his story

Published

NewsAdmin

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — Golf’s next big thing had a pre-U.S. Open press conference on Monday. Because he’s golf’s next big thing. And golf’s next big things have pre-U.S. Open press conferences.

In front of the cameras, golf’s next big thing smiled at most every question, and every answer was delivered as if a grin had a tone. On the left side of golf’s next big thing’s black polo was a cursive M, the logo of Malbon, golf’s next big thing’s new clothing sponsor. Golf’s next big thing sounded and appeared like golf’s next big thing.

Of course, you must see golf’s next big thing do his thing, which is to play golf, and it is something.

His move is electric. His putting stroke is hypnotic. The accomplishments are many. [Deep breath now …] He’s the world’s top-ranked amateur. This season, while a junior at Auburn University, he played in 13 tournaments — and won six. His Tigers just won their second national title in three years. He’s the first player in college golf history to win all three player of the year awards (Haskins, Hogan, Nicklaus) more than once. The list of what he hasn’t done is shorter than the list of what he has.

But if you really want to know golf’s biggest thing, let Jackson Koivun tell you about a bogey. A scorecard square in a sea of circles.

The plus-one came earlier this month at the NCAA national championship’s match-play team final, where, on the par-4 9th hole, Koivun was stuck after two shots. “I hit myself in probably the worst spot, just short-sided,” he said Monday. “Like one out of 10 it stays on the green.”

He went right. Safe. Bogey. Smart, smart, smart.

From over the green, Koivun’s opponent “kind of messes up.” Double bogey.

Koivun won the hole. Koivun won the match. The Tigers won the title.

“So that was definitely one I kind of lucked out on,” he said.

Maybe.

Maybe not. Listen more to Koivun. He’s 21, but could be mistaken for a number somewhere around the age of this week’s 135-year-old host, Shinnecock Hills. Last week, he announced he was turning pro, joining the PGA Tour through its college program — but thing is, he could have done so last year.

But the then-college sophomore said he wasn’t ready.

“I think my golf game was there,” Koivun said. “I just think I wasn’t ready to leave college, and mentally just wasn’t ready for the potential hardships and the travel and everything like that.

“But taking another year to really wrap my mind around that was good for me, and now I’m definitely ready.”

What did he learn over the past year?

What he needed more of, he said.

“Just maturity,” Koivun said. “That’s pretty much my answer. I just gave myself another year to grow, grow as a human being, mentally and physically and everything like that.”

These, of course, are just words, and Koivun is well-spoken.

But Shinny makes no exceptions, and it takes no prisoners. Its mounds confound. Its wind slaps. Koivun said he watched when the U.S. Open was last played here, in 2018 (when he was 13!) “I just remember it looked really hard,” Koivun said. “Obviously, guys are hitting moving balls on the green; it’s dicey. You watch some guys just hit some shots in places, and when you’re younger, it’s easier to say, well, how did he do that? Now you come out here, and you’re like, OK, well, that makes a lot more sense now.”

Which is to say Shinnecock is hard hard. And there’s his play at last year’s U.S. Open, his debut at the national championship. He missed the cut at Oakmont, another one of golf’s cathedrals. “Oakmont was hard, for sure,” he said.

But remember, this is golf’s next big thing.

And golf’s next big things aren’t easily made small, no matter the challenge, no matter the venue, no matter the tournament. That’s why they’re golf’s next big things.

And Koivun is that.

“For me, it’s just finding acceptance in golf,” he said. “Obviously coming into any event, I’m going to try to win it, but not pushing too hard and accepting that, like you said, it’s not a game where you win every week.

“So understanding that and getting that through the head and just keep on going.”

Fifa World Cup: Iran say they were denied recovery time, ordered out of US | FIFA World Cup 2026

Published

16 June 2026

NewsAdmin

Iran’s troubled FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign has run into another controversy after coach Amir Ghalenoei claimed his players were denied recovery time and instructed to leave the United States immediately after their opening match against New Zealand.

The Iranian team played out a 2-2 draw with New Zealand in a politically charged Group G fixture at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Monday night. However, instead of remaining in California overnight to recover, the squad was reportedly told to return straight away to its training base in Tijuana, Mexico.

The latest development adds to a series of logistical and visa-related challenges that have overshadowed Iran’s build-up to the tournament.

Iran question sudden travel decision

Speaking after the match, Ghalenoei said the team had expected to follow a standard recovery schedule before travelling back to Mexico the following day.

Instead, the players were reportedly instructed to leave almost immediately after the final whistle.

“They didn’t even give us time to recover,” Ghalenoei said through an interpreter. “After the game today, they said to us, ‘You have to leave immediately.’ It’s very important for us to have time for recovery, (but) we are asked to get on a plane and return to our camp in Tijuana, and we are really troubled by that.”

The Iran coach did not specify who issued the instruction.

According to Ghalenoei, the original plan was for the team to arrive in Los Angeles two days before the match, stay overnight after the game and return to Tijuana the following afternoon.

“We don’t know why they are returning us, to be honest,” Ghalenoei said. “I think it’s very strange. It seems like others are doing the planning for us. The decision-making for us is being made elsewhere. We were supposed to come two nights before the game, and we were supposed to stay tonight to recover and return tomorrow at lunchtime. We have no idea why.

“I think our team is perhaps the most oppressed in the World Cup.”

Visa issues continue to disrupt preparations

The travel concerns come against the backdrop of wider difficulties faced by the Iranian delegation since the start of the tournament.

Iran’s preparations have been affected by tensions between the United States and Iran, with the team previously expressing concerns over visa delays and travel arrangements.

Captain Mehdi Taremi said several key members of the Iranian contingent remain absent after being denied visas, including senior football federation officials, coaching staff and media personnel.

“We have to leave Los Angeles right now, and it’s not good for us,” Taremi said about an hour after the match. “I think FIFA have to help us more than this. … Everything is like a disaster, actually, for us.”

The visa issue has emerged as a recurring theme during Iran’s World Cup campaign, with officials arguing that the absence of support staff has complicated preparations both on and off the field.

Draw against New Zealand offers little relief

Iran’s frustration was compounded by the result itself.

Team Melli twice came from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw against New Zealand in front of a largely pro-Iranian crowd in Los Angeles.

Eli Just scored both goals for New Zealand, while Ramin Rezaeian and Mohamed Mohebi found the net for Iran.

Mohebi’s superb second-half header secured a point for the Asian side after another difficult night in a tournament already dominated by off-field issues.

The draw leaves Group G finely balanced after Belgium and Egypt also shared the points in their opening fixture.

Iran will return to SoFi Stadium for their second group-stage match against Belgium on Sunday.

Elliotte Friedman shares major hindrance in Mike Babcock’s investigation caused by Blue Jackets players & staff

Published

1 hour ago

16 June 2026

NewsAdmin

The NHL has officially opened its long-delayed investigation into former coach Mike Babcock’s brief stint with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2023. This comes just a day after the conclusion of the 2026 Stanley Cup Final.

In his latest column for Sportsnet, insider Elliotte Friedman reported that the league will interview multiple parties as it examines the circumstances surrounding Babcock’s resignation before he coached a single regular-season game in Columbus.

The review is believed to have been prompted by the NHL Players’ Association to assess whether any further penalties are warranted and whether teams like the Edmonton Oilers can hire him without restriction.

A central challenge for investigators stems from resistance among some former Blue Jackets players and staff. Many have reportedly expressed frustration at revisiting events from three years ago, indicating they have no desire to relive the controversy and prefer to move on.

“One of the initial challenges here is that some Blue Jackets players and staff members from back then initially indicated they had no desire to re-live what happened three years ago and didn’t want to participate,” Friedman wrote. “So we will see how the investigation handles that, or if anyone moves past that reluctance.”

The probe revives scrutiny of Mike Babcock’s conduct in Columbus, including well-publicized allegations of invasions of privacy, such as requests to view personal photos on players’ phones.

The Edmonton Oilers have emerged as the leading candidate to hire Mike Babcock as their next head coach. This comes after the team decided to fire Kris Knoblauch after a disappointing first-round playoff exit.

Initially, the Oilers targeted Bruce Cassidy, but his contract situation with the Vegas Golden Knights has prevented him from interviewing with other teams. The roadblock prompted Edmonton to shift focus to Babcock.

The former Blue Jackets coach reportedly met with Oilers ownership and front office personnel, and he was one of two finalists who also met face-to-face with a small group of players in Toronto.

However, according to Elliotte Friedman, several agents of Edmonton players who were not involved in those direct conversations have voiced concerns.

“Several agents of Edmonton players who were not involved in direct conversations with Babcock also voiced concerns, adding they didn’t like the idea of clients being traded there, either,” he wrote.

The Oilers are now waiting for the outcome of the NHL’s investigation before making a final decision. If the review does not go in Mike Babcock’s favor, the franchise is expected to rule him out as a candidate.

With the playoffs now over, Edmonton is also closely monitoring the Golden Knights’ decision regarding Bruce Cassidy. Currently, the Oilers appear locked in on two primary coaching targets, but it remains to be seen who will ultimately replace Knoblauch behind the bench.
