How are you going to ruin a great dunk with an offensive foul

They wont let the knicks get close enough to win this game.

Not the fault of the refs they they are inept offensively (except Hart) so far.

Hate those kind of charge calls; What the heck is OG supposed to do once he starts that momentum? That’s a split second decision for OG to abort while White plants himself so far forward to get in front of the restricted area.

Refs rewarding flops.

Brunson needs to start flopping to get the attention of the refs.

Windy says Knicks need to win game 2 in Boston because Celtics are better on the road than at home.
