Spurs Star Dylan Harper Places Blame After Knicks Game 4 Win

The San Antonio Spurs set an NBA record for the most made 3-pointers in the first half of Game 4 against the New York Knicks with 14 made 3-pointers.

The Spurs parlayed that success from long range into a 27-point halftime lead, which the team extended to 29 points in the third quarter before every unraveled for San Antonio. After squandering a 29-point lead in the 107-106 loss to the Knicks, guard Dylan Harper revealed what went wrong.

“We went away from everything we were doing,” he said. “In the first half, a lot of tough shots went in. Really, that was because we were playing the right way.”

“We got away from that in the second half because of the lead. We just can’t take our foot off the gas. It’s one thing for me to sit up here and say it. It’s another for us to go out there and do it,” he continued.

After scoring 76 first-half points, the Spurs managed to score just 30 points in the second half on 8-of-39 shooting with 10 turnovers. San Antonio has held double-digit leads in each of the four games in the series, but trails 3-1 as the series heads back to Texas for Game 5.

New York can put the series away and win its first NBA title since 1973 on Saturday, June 13.
