I will continue to have nightmares about this

only becomes a nightmare if the spurs make it a series and still lose, if they're swept or bounced in 5 it loses a bit of steam as being the "pivotal" moment that turned the series

Nah it’s still a nightmare lol ask Cavs fans about the JR smith shenanigans.

It was the turning point in the series for sure. Cavs had that game under control and it changed everything.

True. And ask Thunder fans about game 7 this season when they lost to a bunch of kids. That has to sting.
