The Knicks trailed by 17 points with less than 9 minutes to go.
Entering today, teams were 0-96 when trailing by 17+ points in the final 9 minutes of regulation of a Finals game since 1970-71.
The Knicks have just made that 1-96.

48 House Republicans have never supported a debt limit bill that became law, plus 33 new members who have never voted on one at all.

🚨 🚨BREAKING NEWS FROM @PunchbowlNews :
Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-Fla.) resignation from Congress came two days before the House Ethics Committee was set to vote on releasing a “highly damaging” report outlining its investigation into the Republican, according to multiple sources familiar with the probe.
The committee planned to vote Friday on releasing the report. Ethics loses its jurisdiction over Gaetz when he leaves Congress.
The secretive panel has been investigating Gaetz on and off since 2021.
President-elect Donald Trump announced that he would nominate Gaetz to be attorney general Wednesday.

Thank you, New York. @PlayersTribune
