Knicks vs. Spurs – NBA Finals – Game 4 – predictions: Odds, recent stats, trends and best bets for June 10

Game 4 of the NBA Finals is tonight at Madison Square Garden with the Knicks holding a 2-1 series lead following San Antonio’s 115-111 win in Game 3. After stealing the first two games on the road, New York looked poised to take full control of the series with a seven-point lead at halftime, but the Spurs responded in a must-win spot, snapping the Knicks’ 13-game playoff win streak. Game 4 offers the Knicks a second opportunity to all but end the series but the Spurs can even the series and grab all the momentum with a win that would even the series as it heads back to San Antonio for Game 5.

The Spurs’ second-half adjustments were the obvious difference in Game 3. Victor Wembanyama (32 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists) and Stephon Castle (23 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists) set the tone throughout the game with their physical play and ability to get to the rim. The Spurs tightened defensively and dictated the pace late, outexecuting the Knicks down the stretch despite multiple New York rallies. De’Aaron Fox (8 assists, 2 turnovers) and the Spurs were also better at controlling pace and limiting turnovers. San Antonio had eight turnovers while New York turned the ball over 13 times.

A series is always about adjustments. San Antonio got Wembanyama involved early and lower in the post in Game 3 AND Castle really pressured Brunson. The Knicks did not move the ball on offense as they did in the first two games and that allowed the Spurs’ defenders an extra beat to switch and help as needed. Other than OG Anunoby who appears able to get to his spots whether that be in the corner for a spot up three or at the rim, the Knicks looked uncomfortable in Game 3.
