@nick's rating of Spurs vs Knicks

@nick rated the Spurs vs Knicks game 9.4 out of 10 in NBA on June 21, 1999. Final score: Spurs 81 – Knicks 89. Finals. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

“I was just 9 years old when this one hit. Down 0-2 after the lockout shortened 50 game season, our ragtag 8th seed squad the first (and, the ‘23 Heat, only) true 8 seed ever to reach the Finals refused to die. Madison Square Garden was absolute bedlam. Allan Houston went off for 34 points (12-12 from the line). Latrell Sprewell added 24 with 5 boards and 5 assists. Marcus Camby and the crew filled in for Patrick Ewing (Achilles injury from the ECF) and forced 20 turnovers from the Spurs’ Twin Towers: young Tim Duncan (20 & 12) and Admiral David Robinson (25 & 10). We stole one and cut the series to 2-1. Pure end of the Millennium chaos and Y2K panic in the air. Star Wars Episode I still buzzin and guess who is there: Spike & Stiller. The score is as much a sign of the times as it was a testament to the grind it out basketball these two teams played. The Spurs were riding an 12 game win streak coming in to this one which is 1 more than the Knicks have currently. GUESS WHOS BACK! ”
