New York Knicks game summary
The New York Knicks couldn't pull together a complete team effort, despite standout performances from a few starters. OG Anunoby led the scoring with 24 points on 55.6% shooting, and Karl-Anthony Towns added 22 points and 14 rebounds.
While both showed up offensively, their combined efforts weren't enough to close the gap, especially with the team struggling from deep, shooting just 28.1% from three. Jalen Brunson added only 19.
Landry Shamet gave the bench a spark, knocking down four threes for 12 points. But beyond him, New York got little production from its second unit. The Knicks shot well overall at 47.7% from the field but left points on the line, hitting only 65.4% of their free throws.
Costly turnovers, 17 total, and poor ball security made it tough to stay in the game.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says iconic Larry O'Brien logo might return to Finals courts in 2026
Adam Silver. Image via: Jason Miller/ Getty Images The NBA could soon bring back a familiar sight to basketball's biggest stage. Following widespread fan criticism over the plain court setup during Game 1 of this year's Finals, Commissioner Adam Silver hinted at the possible return of the iconic Larry O'Brien trophy logo to the court by 2026. The absence of any Finals-specific graphics sparked backlash online, as fans questioned why the league abandoned what once made the championship atmosphere feel distinct. Adam Silver teases possible return of Larry O'Brien emblem on NBA Finals hardwood in 2026 Adam Silver. Image: David Dow/ Getty Images For fans who remember the courts of the 1990s and early 2000s, the Finals always came with their own visual identity. It has been a special decal or a large image of the Larry O'Brien trophy right at center court. According to The Athletic's Sam Amick, Silver acknowledged the recent uproar around its absence, saying, 'Maybe there's a way around it. To be honest, I hadn't thought all that much about it until I [saw] it [on social media]. I'm nostalgic, as well, for certain things.' Silver didn't dismiss the feedback. In fact, he explained how impactful visuals can be in today's media landscape: 'I think for a media-driven culture, whether it's people watching live or seeing those images on social media, it's nice when you're looking back on highlights and they stand out because you see that trophy logo or some other indication that it's a special event. So, we'll look at it.' While social media helped bring the issue into the spotlight, it's not the first time the league has fielded questions about its court design choices. NBC Sports Boston's Max Molski noted that the NBA hasn't used on-court decals in the Finals since 2020. Before that, custom logos had been a tradition for decades, used in various forms from 1989 to 2014. One factor that forced the league to ditch these unique court touches was player safety. According to Silver, the decision wasn't taken lightly: 'One of the reasons we moved away from the logos on the courts is — whether it was perception or reality — there was a sense that maybe the logos added some slipperiness to the court, and it was a change, sort of on the court that was coming just at the time of the finals.' There's also a matter of superstition and logistics. Silver added, 'Maybe it's for superstitious reasons or just a sense from teams that we shouldn't be changing things around such important competition.' He emphasized how much planning goes into alternate court designs, particularly when referencing the in-season Emirates Cup: 'It takes a significant amount of time to create new courts in terms of how they're painted, et cetera. ' Still, fans find it puzzling that the league can pull off extravagant, fully-painted courts for a midseason tournament but not for the NBA Finals. Also Read: 'It's gotta be': Tyrese Haliburton seemingly revealed the reason behind his stellar performance in Indiana Pacers' Finals Game 1 win With declining viewership and a vocal fanbase craving the nostalgic flair, bringing back the Finals court decals might be more than just a cosmetic change. It could restore part of what made the Finals feel like a spectacle. Indeed, it appears to be something Silver now seems open to revisiting.

'Most dadcore thing' – NBA Fans was in awe as NFL veteran Tom Brady leaves out LeBron James from Mount Rushmore of GOATs list
Tom Brady and LeBron James. Photo via Imagn Images NFL legend draws the attention of NBA fans as he names some of the greatest athletes of all time, but surprisingly leaves out one major name from the world of basketball. Former American football quarterback and current sports broadcaster for the NFL, Tom Brady, in his recent interview, listed out the names of the athletes who are on his Mount Rushmore of GOAT s. While players like Kobe Bryant and Caitlin Clark made it to the list, the absence of LeBron James from the list is what drew the attention of the fans. Tom Brady announces Michael Jordan on the top of the list, supports other woman NBA players like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and A'ja Wilson Tom Brady and LeBron James developed their friendship over the years as both athletes concentrated on establishing their careers in their respective sports. Even though they cannot be termed as the closest of friends, the players share a warm relationship through their posts on social media. Often, both of them are seen congratulating each other on any major achievements secured by either one of them. While fans have witnessed the sportsmanship from both sides, Brady's recent revelation of his Mount Rushmore of GOATs has generated significant reaction from the fans of the NBA veteran. More so with the inclusion of newcomers like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, fans seem to be quite dissatisfied with the NFL veteran list. In a recent interview, when asked about the list of GOATs, Brady instantly replied, 'Michael Jordan, he was my childhood idol. Obviously, I loved Kobe Bryant. Still love Kobe Bryant. Tiger — his competitiveness. What Rory McIlroy has done; I love that.' The veteran went on to name athletes from other sports as well, 'Shohei Ohtani, what he has done, has been unbelievable. Barry Bonds — he went to my high school. I was the biggest fan of his growing up. Michael Phelps, I love him. Michael Johnson. A'ja Wilson from my Las Vegas Aces. I love her. She's amazing. Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, this little thing that they got going. I love that.' It is quite clear from his answer that Brady has placed Michael Jordan as the GOAT over LeBron James, which has been the centre of the GOAT debate within the NBA for a very long time now. LeBron fans have spoken up on the list with one of the users writing, 'tom brady putting caitlin and angel on his mount rushmore but not lebron is the most dadcore thing i've ever seen' Another one wrote, 'Lol pathetic' 'tom brady just picked jordan over lebron and put caitlin clark on his mount rushmore… y'all still calling him a system qb?' Also read: NBA Finals Game 1 hits record low viewership in the last 37 years despite Indiana Pacers' massive comeback With Brady announcing his list, another sports veteran has seemingly submitted his vote for the NBA GOAT debate between Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
