Spurs’ Stephon Castle issues reality check after Game 3 win vs. Knicks
The San Antonio Spurs can savor their win on Monday, but there is no time to celebrate.
The Spurs possibly salvaged their campaign after beating the New York Knicks, 115-111, in Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, avoiding an almost insurmountable 3-0 hole.
Stephon Castle coolly drained two free throws with only 6.8 seconds left to seal the win for San Antonio, which has yet to lose three straight games this season.
Castle recorded his best game of the series, finishing with 23 points on 8-of-14 shooting, five rebounds, and five assists. The 21-year-old guard, however, remained even-keeled.
“I still feel like we haven’t really done anything. Obviously, it feels good to win, especially on the road,” said the former Rookie of the Year.
“(But) we’re just looking forward to the next 48 minutes.”

It was a nip-and-tuck affair in the fourth quarter, but the Spurs refused to budge and held on for the victory, stunning the jampacked crowd that was eager to party.
Victor Wembanyama led San Antonio with 32 points on 11-of-18 shooting, eight rebounds, six assists, two steals, and three blocks.
The Spurs will try to even the series in Game 4 on Wednesday.
More details to come.
