The NBA says there were no incorrect calls in the last two minutes of Game 3 between the Knicks and Spurs last night.

The league continues to review the play between Victor Wembanyama and Jalen Brunson from the first quarter, with a final decision expected later today.

I'd trade the entire Suns roster for Castle. Dude is nails. He had The Look the entire game, and backed it up in crunch time.
Come on man. He ain't that great.

Harper is actually going to be better than him.

That is one hell of a group to build around though.

They should also be reviewing the incident between Hart and Kornet.

Hart is clearly trying to start an altercation and, at least, 4 Knicks players leave the bench and join. According to the letter of the law, they should all be suspended next game. And it's against the Spurs no less!

No flagrant upgrade on the uncalled foul of Spurs' Victor Wembanyama to Knicks' Jalen Brunson on Monday night, a league spokesperson tells ESPN. Wembanyama will stay at two flagrant points in postseason.

on NBA Today this afternoon and admitted a foul should have been called on Wembanyama's shove to Brunson's upper body. No further action from the NBA.

Castle's violent elbow pushing Brunson to the ground was intentional and should have been assessed a flagrant.

I know people always have this tendency to say the NBA and refs are biased. But being biased for the Spurs over the Knicks makes zero logical sense. You could argue the first three games were too physical, but it would take a LOT of fouls to rein it in.

Overall, the reffing has been pretty even IMHO.

really hard to watch terrible internet and feed kept freezing but that was a great game.

Champagne came up big when needed and Castle was huge. If Harper ever gets a reliable 3 point shot he's going to be a perennial all star he's so good for his age. He's even become a solid defender already

Yeah this series is my first time watching Harper play. I told my wife the spurs are gonna have 2 all star starters soon. The way he moves around the floor is special. And he’s completely fearless.

Not sure what his 3pt % is but his shot looks good. Can’t believe he’s a rookie.

Even but not fair to for both parties

There was a big free throw discrepancy in the 2nd half of game three but the Knicks put themselves in the penalty so fast in both quarters and several of those fouls were not good ones.

Yeah the 4th qt of game 3, they picked up 2 cheap fouls that could have been called any time during the series but weren't.

I did not have the Knicks fans being nuts on my bingo card.

There is video of Knicks fans call Victor W. soft b, when he’s walking out of the team hotel. Gross

The video is worse but I won’t post it because it’s vulgar
