Hour 1: Knicks Lose Game 3 as Turnovers, Officiating and Spurs Physicality Take Over  
Podcast: Evan & Tiki
Published On: Tue Jun 09 2026
Description: The Knicks finally lost their first game in 46 days, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber explain why Game 3 felt less like a collapse and more like the reality of a brutal NBA Finals series. The Spurs brought the physicality, the Knicks got sloppy, and Madison Square Garden went from electric to frustrated as New York missed a chance to take a commanding lead. Evan and Tiki break down the biggest reasons behind the loss, from Jalen Brunson’s turnovers and Karl Anthony Towns’ quiet offensive night to Mikal Bridges disappearing after early foul trouble. They also dig into the officiating debate, the Spurs’ aggressive approach, OG Anunoby’s strong performance, and why Knicks fans still seem confident heading into Game 4.
