Soffer explains that Brunson's late shot drew Wembanyama out of the paint, allowing Anunoby's tip-in.

Soffer argues NBA Finals games should start at 7:30 rather than 8:30 to prioritize East Coast fans.

“Why are they starting? Starting at 830. It's a problem. Just start at 730. Who gives a shit about Los Angeles?”
