• (02:30) A similar trend followed the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The Spurs led by 16 points, but when the New York Knicks made their comeback and forced the game into crunch time, New York pulled away to win 94-90, clinching the NBA title in five games, 4-1.
• (06:46) Offense was once again the Spurs' downfall, especially in crunch time, where the Spurs had trouble generating quality looks. Rookie Dylan Harper and Victor Wembanyama led the way for the Spurs.

In the latest episode of Small Market Bias, host Paul Garcia was joined by guest Collin Reid, where they discussed the following topics:

• (00:52) After building a 29-point lead in Game 4, the San Antonio Spurs couldn't hold on to their largest lead of the series, and the New York Knicks were able to make the full comeback, with OG Anunoby winning the game on a putback layup.
• (07:23) The Spurs started off well offensively, making a playoff record 14 threes in the first half as they were on fire from outside. In the second half, the Spurs went ice-cold from beyond the arc and relied too much on jump shots, not going into the paint much. Victor Wembanyama and rookie Dylan Harper led the way for the Spurs on offense.
• (18:09) The Spurs held the Knicks to 107 points, but one of the final possessions that led to the Spurs' loss was their inability to box out OG Anunoby for the game-winning putback layup.
• (20:42) Looking ahead to Game 5 on Saturday to see how the Spurs respond after a gut-wrenching loss.
