Online jokes about the Finals script: Wembanyama to score 30+ in three straight games, Spurs channel Cavaliers' comeback to win the title

On June 13 Beijing time, a "script image" for the NBA Finals circulated on the internet. Obviously a lighthearted parody, it might represent the hopes of Spurs supporters everywhere: the team would win the next three games and join the 2016 Cavaliers as the only other franchise to erase a 1-3 Finals deficit.

The "script image" listed the first four games according to actual outcomes, but starting from Game 5, it was pure fantasy. The full "script" goes as follows—

Game 1: Knicks 105-95 win on the road over the Spurs

Brunson scored 30 points, and the Knicks went on an 11-0 run to seize home-court advantage.

Game 2: Knicks 105-104 win on the road over the Spurs

A classic finish. After a Spurs turnover in the final minute, Brunson hit the go-ahead free throws.

Game 3: Spurs 115-111 win on the road over the Knicks

Wembanyama responded with a dominant performance, and the Spurs held off the Knicks' late-game pressure at Madison Square Garden.

Game 4: Spurs 106-107 narrow loss on the road to the Knicks

The Spurs built a 29-point lead, but the Knicks completed the largest comeback in NBA Finals history, with Anunoby scoring on a putback at the buzzer.

Game 5: Knicks 102-118 loss on the road to the Spurs

Wembanyama tallied 38 points, 15 rebounds, and 6 blocks. The Spurs dominated the paint and never trailed in the second half.

Game 6: Spurs 109-105 win on the road over the Knicks

Madison Square Garden expected a championship celebration, but Fox drained a clutch three-pointer with 22 seconds left, and Wembanyama contributed 31 points and 14 rebounds.

Game 7: Spurs 113-111 narrow win at home over the Knicks

A classic Game 7. Brunson scored 41 points, Wembanyama put up 35 points and 17 rebounds, and delivered a game-saving block with four seconds remaining. The Spurs survived the Knicks' final possession, becoming only the second team in NBA history to erase a 1-3 Finals deficit and win the championship, tying the 2016 Cavaliers led by LeBron James.
