NBA Rescinds Mitchell Robinson's Game 2 Technical After Knicks' 105-104 Finals Win

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 7

Summary

  • Mitchell Robinson’s technical foul from Friday’s Game 2 was wiped out after the NBA reviewed his first-half shoving sequence with Victor Wembanyama and ruled the call incorrect.
  • The whistle came with 4:56 left in the second quarter of New York’s 105-104 win in San Antonio, a game that gave the Knicks a 2-0 series lead despite the technical carrying a free throw and possession.
  • Robinson logged 14 minutes with seven points, three rebounds, one block and one steal, while continuing to play through a surgically repaired right pinky.
  • The Knicks now head to Madison Square Garden for their first NBA Finals home game since 1999, with San Antonio still likely to target Robinson’s 32% free-throw shooting through its 'Hack-A-Mitch' tactic.
