The Knicks turned a nightmare start into one of the most unforgettable wins in franchise history, storming back from 29 down against the Spurs and leaving fans to wonder how it all happened. Evan and Tiki dig into the officiating swings, the first quarter problems, and the stunning second half collapse that opened the door for New York. They also debate the calls that mattered most, the Spurs' wild statistical reversal, the emotional toll of a comeback win, and whether Mike Breen was on the verge of a historic triple bang for Jalen Brunson before OG Anunoby's putback became the defining moment.

The Knicks pulled off the kind of comeback New York sports fans dream about, erasing a 29 point deficit and stunning the Spurs in a finish that felt instantly historic. OG Anunoby's game winning tip in, Karl Anthony Towns' late deflection, and the final defensive stand pushed the Knicks to the brink of a championship. Evan and Tiki relive the emotional calls from Tommy Lugauer, Tyler Murray, Monica McNutt, and Mike Breen while debating which voice captured the moment best. They also dig into Mike Brown's rotation decisions, Karl Anthony Towns' foul trouble, the leadership behind this Knicks run, and why Victor Wembanyama's missed chances may define the series.

The Knicks delivered a comeback that Evan and Tiki could barely believe, storming back from 29 down to stun the Spurs and move within one win of a championship. From OG Anunoby's unforgettable tip in to Karl Anthony Towns helping disrupt the final inbound, the night had the feel of an instant New York sports classic. Evan and Tiki relive the biggest calls of the finish, from Tommy Lugauer's raw emotion to Tyler Murray and Monica McNutt on radio to Mike Breen's measured brilliance. They also dig into Mike Brown's decisions, the leadership behind the Knicks' rise, Victor Wembanyama's missed chances, and why Steve Cohen watching from courtside only made the Mets' struggles feel even worse.

We continue celebrating the Knicks' incredible comeback with fan reactions, while Gio predicts heavy fouls next game to force a Game 6 in New York. We also hear from a caller who missed the action for a ghost tour before Jerry's update contrasts Tommy Lugauer's halftime optimism against Craig Carton calling the game early. Next, we replay Mike Breen's call of the OG tip-in—which Mike Brown dubbed the biggest play in franchise history—alongside Wemby's thoughts on moving forward. Finally, we wrap the hour discussing Jim Dolan's in-studio visit to the Carton Show yesterday.

We keep riding the high of the Knicks' comeback and OG's amazing tip-in, breaking down the great organizational moves that built this roster. A caller credits Wu-Tang Clan's halftime performance for sparking the rally before Jerry's update rolls Mike Breen's epic call of the shot and Tommy Lugauer yelling "see you at the parade." We also grab postgame reactions from Carton, C-Mac, and Carmelo Anthony. Then, Mike Brown shares his halftime routine, Wemby is asked if the flagrant fouls are in his head, and Shannon Sharpe and Ocho react to the victory. Finally, we wrap up with a caller wondering if there will be a Sunday morning B&G Show if the Knicks win it all on Saturday.

We revisit yesterday's caller who accurately predicted a one-point Knicks win, then take reactions from fans who bailed early versus those who stayed loyal. Jerry's final update kicks off with Gio spotting Cam Skattebo and Jaxson Dart, prompting Boomer to hope Dart takes notes from the Knicks. We then replay Mike Breen and San Antonio radio calls of the OG tip-in, Michael Wilbon calling the Spurs dumb, OG explaining his calm reaction, and Josh Hart's immense relief, before catching Dylan Harper on the locker room mood and Wemby on his missed free throws. Finally, after noting the Mets' 9-2 loss, we share the Moment of the Day about naming a baby Ogugua, and close with Mike from Bayside calling back to predict a big Spurs win this Saturday.

Gio was feeling for Cam Skattebo as he walked around at the Knicks game with Jaxson Dart. We heard from Mike Breen on the OG tip-in. We also heard how it sounded on San Antonio radio. We heard Michael Wilbon saying the Spurs played the dumbest basketball. OG said there was still 1.2 seconds left which is why he didn't get excited about his tip-in. Josh Hart thanked OG or he would have had a lifetime of regret. The Moment of The Day: We are going to name our baby Ogugua after OG.

Jerry's got Mike Breen on the call for the OG tip-in. We heard Tommy Lugauer on WFAN when the tip-in went in. He then yelled, ‘see you at the parade'. We heard from Carton and C-Mac after the game. We heard from Carmelo Anthony after the game. Mike Brown talked about what he did at halftime. Wemby was asked if the flagrants are now in his head. We heard Shannon Sharpe and Ocho reacting to the Knicks win.

Jerry with the sounds of Tommy Lugauer at halftime who refused to say the game was over. Craig Carton said the game was over during his halftime show. We heard Mike Breen's call on the OG tip-in. Mike Brown said it was the biggest play in Knicks history. Wemby talked about how things can go from here.

Today's show is dominated by the Knicks' miraculous 29-point comeback and OG Anunoby's legendary tip-in to take a 3-1 series lead over the Spurs! We ride the emotional high all morning, taking calls from loyal fans and those who bailed early, while Jerry's updates deliver every angle of the madness—from Mike Breen's epic calls to Charles Barkley roasting San Antonio. Along the way, we break down the genius roster moves, check the local baseball scores, hear postgame reactions from Josh Hart and Victor Wembanyama, and wrap things up with the "Baby Ogugua" Moment of the Day alongside our psychic caller's bold prediction for Game 6.
