Carlesimo Preview Game 4
ESPN Radio analyst P. J. Carlesimo joined DP and said he wouldn’t have had an issue if the league assessed a flagrant foul to Victor Wembanyama, though the Finals’ physical tone has made many borderline plays acceptable. Carlesimo was surprised that a veteran Knicks team seemed overwhelmed by the atmosphere and pressure of Game 3. He also defended Karl-Anthony Towns, suggesting the constant physical battle with Wembanyama may have contributed to his quiet fourth quarter. Carlesimo also shared stories from the Dream Team, including time spent around Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley.
