What happened: After a 107-106 final, Josh Hart said he owed a teammate for the outcome, telling reporters, "I got a special shout-out for OG because he saved me, at least for this game, a lifetime of regret." The remark followed a one-point New York win in the NBA Finals. Hart framed the play as the difference between celebration and a result he would have replayed for years.

Why it matters: The narrow win pushes New York to a 3-1 series lead, leaving the team one victory from a title. With the margin this tight, individual plays carry outsized weight, and Hart's comments underscore how a single defensive or hustle moment swung the night. A 3-1 Finals edge dramatically tilts the series in New York's favor.

What to watch: Watch whether New York can close out the series in the next game, and whether San Antonio can force a Game 6 back home.
