You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get after it.
Karl-Anthony Towns was the difference-maker in Game one of the NBA Finals, and the Knicks are heading into Game two with serious momentum. Towns controlled the paint, hit the big shots when New York needed them most, and gave the Spurs a matchup problem they couldn't solve. The series is alive, and San Antonio knows it.
Speaking of the Spurs, De'Aaron Fox had an absolute nightmare in Game one, finishing three for thirteen from the floor in a loss that put the franchise on the back foot. RGIII didn't hold back, calling out Fox publicly and making it clear that Victor Wembanyama cannot carry this team alone. Fox has to find himself in Game two, or this series could get away from San Antonio fast.
And here's the story that broke the internet — a fan stormed the court during Game one to snag a selfie with Wembanyama, and the internet is actually feeling sorry for the guy. Why? Because at seven feet four inches tall, Wembanyama was simply too tall to fit in the frame. You really can't make that up. The man is a literal force of nature, even in someone else's photo.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
