It started with a Maxey 4-point play after receiving an inbounds pass with 28.9 seconds to go in the fourth quarter and with his Sixers down six. Mitchell Robinson never should have leaped at a shooter so recklessly.

Yes,  and I noted that in all caps as it happened.

“I’m just going to take it like a man,” Robinson said. “I fucked up. I mean, shit, I gotta be better next game.”

The would’ve, could’ve, should’ve did not include hypotheticals from only the final 30 seconds of regulation.

The Knicks went up five in overtime. They couldn’t hold the lead. There was the turnover from Jalen Brunson with the Knicks down two and with under 20 seconds remaining in overtime.

Yeah, I thought they had that game when Jalen scored those 5. I thought it was a duel between Maxey and Brunson, that Maxey got two exquisite knife thrusts to send it to OT but when I saw Jalen score five straight, I thought that was the kill shot.
