The Spurs were never going to go down without a fight in the NBA Finals, and that’s exactly what they brought to Game 3 against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Victor Wembanyama helped lift San Antonio to its first win of the series on the road in Monday night’s 115-111 thriller, playing by far his best game in front of a hostile New York crowd (32 points on 11-of-18 shooting).
But Game 3 wasn’t without its fair dose of controversy. After the loss, Knicks coach Mike Brown criticized the NBA referees for what he seemed to think was an unfair whistle for the home team, especially when it came to free throws.
