Mike Brown Calls Out Knicks-Spurs Game 3 Officiating: 'Never Thought I'd See that in an NBA Finals Game'
Brown said the Knicks were whistled for 24 free throws in the second half, calling the imbalance a factor in the Game 3 loss.
- On Monday, the New York Knicks lost 115-111 to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, prompting head coach Mike Brown to criticize the second-half free-throw discrepancy during his postgame press conference.
- The Spurs' victory trimmed New York's series lead to 2-1, snapping the Knicks' 13-game postseason winning streak and handing the team its first loss in 46 days.
- Brown noted the Spurs shot 24 free throws in the second half compared to eight for the Knicks, while describing an 84-61 free-throw edge across three games as 'not normal.'
- While Brown acknowledged the Spurs played well, he argued the officiating imbalance is 'tough to overcome' and could significantly lower the Knicks' odds if it persists in Game 4.
- Game 4 is scheduled for Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks must decide whether to focus on officiating complaints or improve their own execution to regain momentum.
