In Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals, De'Aaron Fox's crucial layup attempt was blocked, drawing criticism from experts. The San Antonio Spurs, who led by 29 points, ultimately lost to the New York Knicks. With 12 seconds left, Fox opted for a layup rather than running down the clock, a decision that backfired as OG Anunoby prevented the score. Iman Shumpert, a former NBA champion, expressed disappointment, suggesting that Fox should have chosen a different approach. The Spurs now find themselves down 3-1 in the series.
