Canada's U18 men's team made history last night, defeating the United States 67-65 to win the country's first-ever gold medal at the FIBA U18 Men's AmeriCup! Deng Ngor hit the game-tying three AND threw down the game-winning dunk in the final moments. 🇨🇦

44 days since their last loss. 13 straight wins, the 2nd-longest streak in NBA playoff history.

Watching this game at a wedding on an iPad with my 4-yr-old nephew. He thinks the timeouts are too long.

New York is 8-8 when trailing by double-digits over the last 2 postseasons. 14-17 when trailing by 10+ in the playoffs since Brunson became a Knick, the most double-digit comeback playoff wins in that span.

Incredible answer from KAT about not being nervous before game one but having a calmness that he felt came from his Mom

Only three teams have led the playoffs in offensive & defensive rating since 1997. Lakers in 2001 Warriors in 2018 Knicks in this run

It's been 42 days since the Knicks last lost a basketball game. They've trailed in the fourth quarter in just FIVE games this postseason.

NBA matchup tracking data is spotty. BUT their live tracking had Wemby as 2-for-10 from the field in 8 matchup minutes against Towns in Game 1.

Knicks have won 12 straight games, tied for the 2nd-longest win streak in NBA playoff history.

Jalen Brunson with 30 points (& counting!), the most in a Finals debut by a Knick since Willis Reed in 1970 (37 points).

a fan just ran on the court. no trial necessary. life in prison.

Spurs were +8 with Wemby on the bench in the first quarter... -15 since

An NBA Finals game is tied heading into the fourth quarter for the first time since 2021. Knicks have a +11.5 net rating in fourth quarters this postseason.

Only 1 of the Spurs' top-7 scorers was alive for the 1999 NBA Finals. De'Aaron Fox.

Victor Wembanyama is the first player to lead a Finals team in scoring in the first 4 seasons of his career since LeBron James in 2007. This is year 3 for Wembanyama.

Spurs won 56 total games in Wembanyama's first two NBA seasons. In his third season: 74 wins & an NBA Finals appearance.

San Antonio is now 45-11 when Dylan Harper scores 10+ points this season.

San Antonio's top-8 playoff rotation (by minutes played) entered the postseason with a combined 50 games of playoff experience. That's the fewest by a top-8 rotation since the Blazers entered with 45 games of experience in 1977.

A reigning NBA champion hasn't made it back to the NBA Finals since the Golden State Warriors in 2019.

The NBA will have a different NBA champion for 8th straight season, extending the longest streak in league history. 2019 - Toronto 2020 - Los Angeles Lakers 2021 - Milwaukee 2022 - Golden State 2023 - Denver 2024 - Boston 2025 - Oklahoma City 2026 - New York/San Antonio

7 point swing in 60 seconds of game time, best Game 7 of this playoffs

OKC has a lead in the series for the first time since the end of Game 5.

I’ve been trying to get out of my storytelling/media/broadcast bubble to learn different things so went to a couple tech events this week. I will be staying in my bubble.

There will be at least FIVE Game 7s this postseason, tied for the most in a single postseason in NBA playoff history. It's the most in one season since 2016.

Spurs win by 27 points, the largest margin of victory in an elimination game in Spurs playoff history.

OKC never led tonight, making this their first wire-to-wire loss in the playoffs since 2016 in Game 1 of Thunder/Spurs!

OKC is 16 minutes away from their first wire-to-wire playoff loss since 2016.

just did my daily twitter scroll & have many questions on how many people on that app are real

Alex Caruso is shooting 47.7% from three this postseason, 18.4% higher than he did in the regular season (29.3%). That's on pace to be the biggest jump in 3P% from the regular season to the playoffs in NBA history (min. 50 attempts in both).

welp

Wemby in 2 wins this series: 19-for-28 at the rim Wemby in 2 losses: 7-for-9 at the rim He was 2-for-3 at the rim in the first half of Game 5.

Thunder win the first stretch of non-SGA minutes by 4.

this series rules.

Jalen Brunson the last time the Knicks made the NBA Finals

@nycsanitation.bsky.social I’d like to report a sweep

The New York Knicks haven't lost a basketball game since April 23. They've won 11 straight games, tied for the third-longest win streak in NBA playoff history. www.sports-reference.com/stathead/tin... @stathead.com

Knicks bench outscored the Cavs 58-24 tonight, their largest differential in any game this postseason. They've won the bench point differential in 8 of 14 games over this run, after losing it in every game last playoffs.

James Harden is now 12-17 in elimination games in his career. He's shot 35% or worse from the field in 15 of his 28 career elimination games.

Some analytics: Knicks outscored the Cavs by a combined 77 points this series, the second-largest point differential in a 4-game sweep in Conference Finals history, behind the Lakers in 2001 (+89).

James Harden finished with more turnovers (5) than made field goals (2) for the 33rd time in his playoff career & the 7th time this postseason.

Knicks have a +19.4 average point differential this postseason, the largest by a team entering the NBA Finals in NBA playoff history. Passed the 2017 Warriors' mark of +16.3.

Knicks are the first team in NBA history to have three 20+ point series clinching wins in a single playoff run. 51-point win in Game 6 vs the Hawks 30-point win in Game 4 vs the 76ers 37-point win in Game 4 vs the Cavs

Cavs have given up 20+ points off turnovers for the 10th time this postseason, the most such games in one playoff run since the stat was tracked in 1997. Gave up 20+ points off turnovers in 10 of their 18 games.

the cavs will always have those 2 analytical wins

Knicks went on a 20-0 run in the first half, the second time a team has scored 20+ unanswered points in a closeout games this postseason. Spurs did it against the Wolves.

I started calling being off for the offseason my “semi-retired” summer last year. 1 week into being semi-retired & I barely remember how to use my phone, it’s the best

OKC has trailed in the fourth quarter in 3 of 12 games this postseason. 2 of those 3 games have come against the Spurs.

Pop after game 3: "That's BS. That's not how we play basketball" De'Aaron: "That was the first time all season that he came into the locker room right after a game and told us how he felt...he opened that door, we see Pop come in and it's like ohhh"

Victor Wembanyama had 4 makes at the rim, 2 blocks & a make from 43+ feet in the first half. Make it make sense.

Wemby's buzzer beater came from 40-feet, the 2nd-longest made shot of any player this postseason.
