Episode 133: Knicks-Rockets, Gm 3, June 12th, 1994 | NBA Finals

Before hopping into Game 3 of the 1994 NBA Finals, we give the series and NBA some social, historical and political context. We begin today’s episode with a discussion about the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

And then we dive into the hoops.

The 1993-94 season culminated in a matchup between the Houston Rockets and New York Knicks in the NBA Finals, a series widely celebrated as a meeting of two of the game's great centers, Hakeem Olajuwon and Patrick Ewing. The players had previously met before as collegiate athletes, as Ewing's Georgetown University bested Olajuwon's University of Houston 84-75 in the 1984 NCAA Championship game. The Knicks-Rockets series would ultimately be defined by it's rugged, low-scoring defensive style and unsung performances from key role-players.
