The broadcast concludes with a preview of the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks. Jalen Brunson presents a difficult assignment for the San Antonio backcourt.

Game 7 Performance Breakdown – Part 11:34 – 6:05

1:34

Well, first of all, I- if you notice on the thumbnail, I, I used, um, De'Aaron Fox, and I wanna make it clear that this guy deserves a game ball.

1:42

And it wasn't that he had a ton of points or a ton of assists or anything like that.

1:45

I mean, here was the stat line.

1:47

Uh, 35 minutes, 6 for 12 from the field, 3 for 7 from three, for 15 total points, um, and five assists and a couple turnovers.

1:55

Um, but ag- every shot he had to make was huge for them, and was like a, a, a run-ending-

2:01

Yeah

2:01

... you know, a bucket, uh, as OKC tried to kept getting closer and closer.

2:05

So, um, really, I'm really happy for him because he's the only guy that had, like, game seven experience, I think, in the playoffs, but he only had, like, one, so he doesn't ...

2:13

He, he really isn't-

2:14

Right

2:14

... as fresh as most of the other guys, too.

2:16

So I wasn't so sure how well he'd be able to handle that.

2:18

And man, he was the guy, the veteran, the calm.

2:21

Kept them settled, got them the buckets when they needed to.

2:24

So really, just shout out to De'Aaron Fox.

2:26

Give him all the credit in the world.

2:28

Absolutely, man.

2:29

We saw, we saw a couple of players from both teams step up down the stretch.

2:32

Fox was one of them for San Antonio.

2:34

Champagnie hit a couple of big buckets as well, um, some big threes.

2:39

Casen Wallace for OKC kept them in this thing.

2:42

I mean-

2:43

Yeah

2:43

... his fourth quarter performance, um, he ...

2:45

What did he have? Probably 14 points in the fourth quarter for OKC.
