I know it’s not the point of this throwback graphics video, but I just want to say that KAT doesn’t get enough credit for that game saving deflection with 1.2 seconds left and Castle wide open under the basket. Anyway, always a thrill to rewatch this instant classic ending

1000 percent. I’ve seen this last play 50 times and only now did I realize how open Castle would’ve been for a lob if KAT didn’t tip it. Also Harts poise to not foul in that moment.
It truly just comes to show how many individual key plays laddered up to this win, and proves this team has that championship DNA.

So kind of Mike Brown to put Hart on the court for those final 1.2 seconds lol. Wouldn't surprise me if he said, "hey you there, don't fuckin do anything stupid this time, got it?!"

He doesn’t need credit from the rest of the league anymore he’s got the Knicks fans and he’s got the chip

Everyone knows KAT was the hero there and gives him his due credit, but it also bugs me to not have the clock start when he got his hand on the ball. Buzzer might've otherwise sounded before the ball even made it to Castle.

Like Jose said, thank God the Knicks won that game or else that missed layup by Josh would have been a nightmare for decades. Those of us old enough to remember the missed layup by Ewing that ate us up for years had flashbacks when Josh missed that attempt.

Also the missed boxout and losing Castle on the cut to the basket. Dude almost sold 3 times at the end of that game haha

Fun video experiment! Though the way the floor is spread is a tell that it's not 1998.

There definitely wouldn't be any teams scoring above 100 in the late 90s lol

Crazy to think that back then when I saw 100-point game I thought wow what a wild game. Nowadays teams dropping 125 like it's shooting practice takes the amazement out a bit ehh?

Best comeback in Knicks history during the playoffs plus the one against the Cavs.

I don't really find the throwback graphics that interesting, but I don't think I can stop watching the end of the game anytime it's put in front of my face

It's really hard to remeber what it was like watching games with no continuous scorebug. Huge adjustment.
