Hart ended with 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), nine rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes during Monday's 115-111 loss to San Antonio in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Hart came to life on the offensive end of the floor, connecting on four three-pointers en route to 16 points. Having scored a total of just nine points in his previous three games, his offensive output was a welcome sight, albeit in a losing effort. Monday's loss sees New York clinging to a 2-1 series lead, with Game 4 scheduled for Wednesday.
Johnson posted seven points (3-5 FG, 1-4 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 17 minutes during Monday's 115-111 win over New York in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Johnson continues to be mostly a non-factor, scoring single digits for the fourth time in the past five games. Despite being named the Sixth Maan of the Year, Johnson has been unable to carry his form from the regular season into the playoffs. In 13 appearances over the past month, he has averaged just 8.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in 17.0 minutes per game.
Castle provided 23 points (8-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday's 115-111 victory over the Knicks in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Castle delivered on the biggest stage, turning in his best performance of the NBA Finals, helping the Spurs wrestle back some of the momentum. Despite his relative inexperience, Castle has remained upbeat, even after what was a disappointing effort in Game 2. Now trailing the series 2-1, San Antonio will look to secure a second straight road victory when the two teams meet again on Wednesday.
Brunson registered 32 points (11-25 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes in Monday's 115-111 loss to the Spurs in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Brunson put forth a valiant effort, leading the Knicks in the scoring column while tying Josh Hart for the team lead in assists. However, it wasn't enough to overcome 32 points from Victor Wembanyama and 23 points from Stephon Castle. Brunson has now put up 30 or more points in two of the first three games of the series and managed to bounce back from an ugly 7-for-25 showing from the field in Game 2.
Wembanyama finished with 32 points (11-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals across 39 minutes in Monday's 115-111 win over the Knicks in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Wembanyama delivered an efficient shooting performance and finished with a game-high-tying 32 points, reaching the 30-point mark for the first time in the Finals. The superstar big man also matched his postseason high in assists and was dominant on the defensive end once again, as he has racked up at least four combined steals-plus-blocks in three consecutive contests. Wembanyama and the Spurs will look to steal another win in Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, which would even the series at 2-2.
Thunder general manager Sam Presti recently said that Sorber (knee) is unlikely to play in the Summer League, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports. Sorber sustained a torn ACL in his right knee back in September, and while his recovery remains on track, the Thunder will proceed with caution. "Thomas has really impressed me," Presti said. "We have some experience with some of our younger guys not being able to play in games in their rookie year. He dove into his rehab. His work capacity has impressed me. And, obviously, there are all of the reasons we drafted him. Great feel for the game. He can really pass. He's physical. He'll hit the ground running. We're really excited about him."
Robinson (finger) is listed as available for Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Spurs on Monday. Robinson continues to be listed on the injury report with his finger issue, but he's managed to play in both games of this series so far. In those outings, he averaged 4.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 13.5 minutes per contest.
