> "I don't get into social media. I think I've probably been fired 212 times, and we've traded Fox 72 times. People have their opinions. I don't care. De'Aaron Fox will have the ball in his hands at the end of the game tomorrow and I have nothing but the utmost confidence that he's gonna deliver like he's done countless times for us"

[ESPN] Knicks fans direct jeers, flying egg at Spurs' Victor Wembanyama
> A brutal night for Victor Wembanyama continued even after he returned to his hotel on Wednesday, as he was pelted with boos from jeering Knicks fans and nearly struck by a flying egg.
> A video shared online showed at least one egg tossed in the direction of the San Antonio Spurs superstar as he entered his hotel, flanked by security, following the team's Game 4 loss to the Knicks in the NBA Finals.
> It was not clear who threw the egg. The video showed taunting fans swarming the hotel a few blocks south of Madison Square Garden.
> A few seconds after the egg cracked on a street sign, Wembanyama turned around and confronted a person standing near the hotel's entrance, before continuing inside.
> The Spurs did not immediately respond to a request seeking clarity on whether the object struck Wembanyama.
> The Knicks' historic victory prompted scenes of bedlam and jubilation across New York City, as ecstatic fans packed the streets, set off fireworks, scaled lampposts and at times clashed with police.
> According to the New York Police Department, 56 people were taken into custody for charges that ranged from assault to disorderly conduct.
> "Once again, there were large crowds of people who engaged in incredibly reckless and dangerous behavior last night both during and after the game," the police department said in a statement.
> An NYPD spokesperson said they had nothing on file about the egg incident.
Matas Buzelis:
> “The news was tough for me. He was such a great guy, such a wholesome person. He’s somebody I looked to for advice… he would give me the truth, tell me what I need to do and get better at. And the fans, you know, loved him. He was one of those dudes that mean so much to the city of Chicago… so the news was very, very hard for me.”

Brian Windhorst:
> “2nd half he plays all but 57 seconds of the whole 2nd half, I feel like he completely ran out of gas. I don’t know understand why he was not getting more rest in the game. At the end of the third quarter he played 5 more minutes then he played in game 3 and that was a 1 point game this was a 15 point game. He couldn’t move defensively that made it easier for the Knicks and offensively he was unable to get anything at one point he went 1 of 10 when he gets fatigued he starts flopping around.”

Not long after the Spurs’ bags were loaded onto their charter plane bound for the Big Apple, Popovich — who was not joining the team on the trip — made his way onto the plane and gave a rare rallying cry to remember. There was plenty of time to talk on the runway, as a flat tire on the plane ahead of San Antonio’s caused a significant delay. So Popovich, the 77-year-old whose coaching career was cut short by a stroke in Nov. of 2024 and who now serves as the team’s basketball president, decided to get on the plane for the first time all season and remind them all that this series wasn’t over just yet.
“He basically said that even though we dug ourselves a hole, that we can dig ourselves out of it,” Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox shared with The Athletic. “He told us just to be confident — to come out here and be confident, that there’s a reason why we got here.”
This time around, Fox said, Popovich was reminding them all that they deserved to believe. He spoke to the group for nearly 10 minutes, then spent an additional 20 minutes individually with players and coaches while seated next to star big man Wembanyama. He then left the plane before the Spurs finally embarked for New York. As Fox sees it, the deliberate and thoughtful nature of Popovich’s occasional messages has made them all the more meaningful.
“It’s always good when he comes around,” said Fox, whose midrange dagger over OG Anunoby with 12.2 seconds left put the Spurs up five and all but sealed it. “He doesn’t talk to the group all the time whenever he’s around. He’ll talk to individuals every once in a while. But yeah, it definitely feels good whenever Pop addresses the group. (He doesn’t) just address the group just to talk.”
