Magic Johnson Criticizes De'Aaron Fox's Game 4 Blunder

Magic Johnson weighed in on De'Aaron Fox's Game 4 blunder, stating the Spurs point guard made a huge mistake.

The former Los Angeles Lakers superstar point guard talked about the incident in a post on X, praising Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, and the New York Knicks for their 107-106 win on Wednesday.

Magic Johnson got right to the point about De'Aaron Fox's decision, saying he should have dribbled the ball out to be fouled instead of attempting a layup.

The Spurs squandered a 29-point lead in Game 4 but were still clinging to a one-point lead late, on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden in New York, N.Y.

Magic Johnson still feels good about San Antonio's chances to force at least a Game 6, saying "I think the Spurs have another win in them and the Series will stretch out to 6 or 7 games."

The 66-year-old Johnson believes the Knicks will win the series, despite the Spurs' potential to force more games, as he wrote on X after Game 4.

The Spurs will host the Knicks for Game 5 at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, on Saturday, giving them a chance to redeem themselves.

Magic Johnson and the rest of the basketball world will find out about the Spurs' chances on Saturday, when the two teams face off again.

The former Lakers point guard's comments come after the Knicks' unbelievable win on Wednesday, which saw OG Anunoby make a game-winning putback, on 18 Jun.

Magic Johnson's thoughts on the game reflect his experience as a former NBA player and his understanding of the game, having played for the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Spurs' chances of winning the series depend on their ability to learn from their mistakes and capitalize on their opportunities, as Magic Johnson suggested.

The outcome of the series remains uncertain, with the Knicks currently leading, but the Spurs still having a chance to force more games, as Magic Johnson predicted.
