Ball so hard MF wanna fine Mitch

Mitchell Robinson (Knicks) and Dyson Daniels (Hawks) got into a silly lil altercation on the court in this game. One could blame the tension on the fact that the Knicks were 4:39 min away from setting the NBA record for largest halftime lead in NBA playoff history. And legend has it, Dyson purposely instigated so he didn’t have to stick around to receive the royal belt the Knicks were laying down. After the game, Mitch took it off court and posted to his socials a catchy animated tune directly calling out the beef between him and Dyson. Dyson got dinged $25k for the original fracas while Mitch got slapped with a $50,000 fine for his inappropriate social media post 😂

The Knicks Eviscerate Atlanta

The Knicks just completed the 6th biggest blowout win in NBA playoff history (tied with game 1 of OKC-Memphis in 2025). It is the 3rd largest blowout win in a series clinching game. Only behind Chicago against Milwaukee in game 6 of their 2015 series (54-point blowout) and Cleveland against Miami in game 4 of their 2025 series (55-point blowout). The Knicks also set the record for largest halftime lead in NBA playoff history. This is the 3rd 50-point blowout in a playoff game in the last 2 seasons. Prior to this game, the Knicks had never won a playoff game by more than 40 and Atlanta’s biggest loss in a playoff game was 43. Both sides have new highs in their respective categories. Incredibly, the Hawks had a higher shooting percentage in this game than the Raptors did in their game 4 win (38% for Atlanta and 32% for Toronto).

Jose Alvarado joins a pretty special list

Puerto Ricans aren't common in the NBA. The US, Europe, South America, and Africa are a lot more represented than Puerto Rico. However, three Puerto Ricans have won championships in the NBA. Here's the list: Butch Lee, 1980 JJ Barea, 2011 Jose Alvarado, 2026

Record Shattering Insanity

There were so many records broken or approached in this game, I’m going to list them off. The Spurs held a 27-point lead at halftime, that is tied for the 3rd largest in NBA finals history. Only trailing 2020 Lakers against the Heat in game 6 and the 1985 Celtics in game 2 against the Lakers. The Spurs also set the record for most points at halftime for a road team in NBA finals history. Also the 3rd largest for any NBA finals team ever. The Spurs’ 14 3-pointers made at halftime is the all-time record in the NBA Finals. It beats the 2017 Cavs in game 4. They were also 1 3 shy of the most 3s made in an NBA finals quarter when they made 8 in the 2nd. Of course, the one you all know, the Knicks completed the largest finals comeback in NBA history by a huge margin. The previous record was 24 by the 2008 Boston Celtics against the Lakers and there’s only 1 other 20-point comeback in NBA finals history (95 Rockets against Magic) OG and Brunson each put up 33 points in this all-time classic. They are just the 10th pair of teammates to ever do that in a Finals game and the first pair to do it since the Steph Curry and Kevin Durant in 2017.
