@FlameRaptorRaven's rating of Spurs vs Knicks

@FlameRaptorRaven rated the Spurs vs Knicks game 8.6 out of 10 in NBA on December 17, 2025. Final score: Spurs 113 – Knicks 124. Cup Finals. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

“I thought the demons of 1999 were gonna haunt the New York Knicks, but no, they managed to overcome them, just for tonight. This was a back and forth affair that neither team could fully pull away from. I was low-key hoping we’d get overtime in the NBA Cup Final. While we didn’t get that, we got a nail-biter down the stretch until the Knicks finally got the best of the Spurs. Wemby still made an incredible impact on the floor, the shift in balance of power that happens when he’s on the court is crazy. Jalen Brunson wasn’t amazing, but he got the job done. OG Anunoby was the X-factor for New York. That 3 with less than 2 minutes was the dagger in my mind. Coupled with his always elite defense and it makes me miss him so much. Say what you want about the tiny banner, but they did what OKC couldn’t, they beat the Spurs in a pressure-filled situation. I’m sure Nick and Mollie are hoping the Knicks do not continue the trend of 1st round playoff losses for NBA Cup winners.”
