Mike Brown said Gregg Popovich called him after OG Anunoby’s game-winning tip-in in Game 4 against the San Antonio Spurs Via @Krisplashed on X

What happened: Brown said Popovich joined Steve Kerr and Rick Carlisle in congratulating New York after the championship. Anunoby's tip-in decided Game 4 against San Antonio.

Why it matters: The exchange connects New York's title team to San Antonio's championship pedigree under Popovich. It underscores Anunoby's value as a late-game difference-maker entering the 2026-27 season.

What to watch: New York opens camp with added frontcourt depth as it prepares to defend the title in 2026-27.
