Castle Involved in Costly Late-Game Turnover in Game 2 Loss

Stephon Castle was central to a pivotal late-game miscommunication in the Spurs' 105-104 Game 2 loss to the Knicks. The sequence resulted in a turnover when a pass from Victor Wembanyama bounced off Castle's back, effectively ending San Antonio's chances. The error occurred during a high-pressure finish, leaving the Spurs trailing 2-0 in the NBA Finals. Analysts have questioned why coaching staff did not call a timeout prior to the sequence that led to the turnover.
