Scottie Barnes is EVERYTHING

Every Raptor had a negative +/- except for Scottie Barnes, who was a +16. He is SO SO SO GOOD. He should be a lock for all-defensive 1st team and should be a strong contender for an all-nba 3rd team appearance. His underrated playmaking, elite defense and improved scoring ability are crucial to the Raptors. I hope he is okay.

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.
