BREANNA STEWART TONIGHT 🔥 • 30 POINTS • 8 REBOUNDS • 4 STEALS • 6/15 FG

At the bare minimum, you could say that the Knicks didn’t get a great whistle in Game 2. This call below is one that they forced the refs to get right. A crucial challenge, initiated by NYK assistant Jordan Brink. “Jordan, he's been a master at this, Mike Brown said after Game 2. “And I've said it before, man. I've got great assistants, even guys sitting behind the bench, my young guys. I know I'm scared to death that one of these teams are going to poach them, poach my guys. “Surprised nobody has come at Chris Jent for a head job yet. The guy's won Summer League as a coach. He's a lead assistant here. I can go down the line talking about all my guys. “But Jordan is consistent. He's been doing this now two years in a row. I rely totally on him. Every once in a while I lose my mind, you know, get emotional, and try to stick it to the refs, even though I like all of them, but that never works. So I try like heck to follow Jordan's lead, and it was 100 percent his call.” Spurs were on 14-0 and had tied the game, 97-97, at the time of the call. Instead of Spurs getting the ball, OG Anunoby got three free throws and knocked them down.
