Game seven. Knicks by six. 20 seconds to play. Reggie makes the three, knocks over Greg Anthony to steal the inbound pass, runs behind the three point line, makes the three. Some moran fouls Starks. Starks bricks both free throws. Reggie rebounds and some moran fouls him. Reggie nails them both. Knicks get the ball to Ewing at the top of the key. Ewing drives the lane like a man possessed, makes space for himself, goes up for a dunk but his weak knees don't give him the elevation, so he has to lay it up. He misses. Ball game.
That game was 17 goddamn years ago, and I still remember this entire sequence VIVIDLY. I was an 8yo kid. I totally told my Dad "Starks is going to miss these" since Starks had shat the bed the entire game.
Probably the best game between teams I hate that I've ever seen.
