What We Learned from Knicks Game 4
Last night was nothing short of a travesty. The New York Knicks won Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals and wowed the world.
Everyone in Madison Square Garden was still on their feet for most of the game as the Knicks embarked on the largest comeback in NBA Finals history. It was not easy but they found a way thanks to OG Anunoby’s iconic tip-in.
Other turnovers occurred such as D’Aaron Fox, described as ‘stupid’ by one CBS Sports highly billed spokesman. The blame was on head coach Mitch Johnson and Victor Wembanyama said after the game it is essentially time to go all in. Wemby was seen egged on social media.
While everyone was celebrating, the key none understand is that the San Antonio Spurs are still in the hunt. If they win another game or two, it is possible Game 7 will be one for the highlights.

Wemby Playing to his Last Second
Victor Wembanyama witnessed one of the worst tragedies last year at 21 years of age. He experienced a blood clot. Fast forward to the 2026 NBA Playoffs, Wemby is having the time of his life with his fellow teammates that include Stephon Castle, D’Andre Fox, and Dylan Harper.
The Spurs play with a collection of guards that can spread the court and nail buckets. Wemby is not doing anything keen to jinx the magic. Wemby averaged 25 PTS, 11.5 REB, and 51.5 FG% in the regular season.
Now he is continuing his good play at a shot of the NBA Finals. The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Trail Blazers on Sunday, 111-98. They need to defend Scoot Henderson and Demi Avdija better but that has been Wemby’s special quality this year.
All 100 voters unanimously named Wembanyama Defensive Player of the Year and what’s better is Wemby stands a shot at the MVP race with Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous Alexander.
Wendy attained the award by leading the league in blocks (3.1) and taking care of stocks (steals+blocks). His 8-foot wingspan has been able to tell the rest of his story.
Wemby is a hard nosed competitor who enters his third-year very capable. These are the moments San Antonio fans live for.

Tango with Tiago Splitter
The Portland Trail Blazers have reportedly named Tiago Splitter the interim head coach in the midst of a federal investigation pertaining to respected Hall of Famer on the court, Chauncey Billups.
Billups is known for conquering the Lakers and Kobe Bryant in the 2004 NBA Finals. He was a tremendous leader led by Rasheed Wallace, Richard Hamilton, Ben Wallace, and Tayshaun Prince.
Considered one of the top NBA lineups in the last century, Billups was recently arrested for his wrongdoing in possible NBA gambling. No other terms are to be specified at this time, but Portland is now led by a new existing leader and his name is Tiago Splitter.
Splitter most notably liked to tango in the San Antonio Spurs front court along with legend Tim Duncan and pursue multiple championships. He wil replace in igniting the same possible potential in the French Cup and assisting Ime Udoka for one lone season.
Stephen A. Smith once admittedly joked about Splitter on ESPN First Take with Skip Bayless, but tangoing with Splitter seems to be all at-well.
