The claim being made is that the NBA Finals refereeing was heavily biased toward the San Antonio Spurs. Presumably, this was to ensure there was a game 6 and 7. If the series went to game 7, a lot of money would be generated. But, the New York Knicks won despite this bias, that's how superior they were (allegedly). What do you think?

France vs England
Was this the moment the San Antonio Spurs sealed their own demise? Victora Wembanyama was born in France, while OG Anunoby was born in England. Many are warning, do not celebrate too early, stay humble. But most seem to have overlooked that when a Frenchman goads an Englishman, things don't usually end well for the Frenchman. Students of history will know this very well.

Knicks One Win Away
It looks like the Trump jinx has been lifted with the New York Knickerbockers winning game 4 of the NBA Finals, to go 3-1 up. Many alive today have never seen the Knicks win an NBA title. Now, they're one win away. In the final seconds, OG Anunoby, for the Knicks, pulled off a crucial block to prevent the Spurs from scoring, then at the other end, he made a spectacular tip-in to seal the win.

Did Trump Cause Knicks Loss?
Stephen A. Smith seems to think the New York Knickerbockers lost game 3 of the NBA finals because of Trump.

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith seemed to forecast the reaction to Trump’s attendance at the game if the Knicks didn’t bring home the win.
“If they lose tonight, I’m looking right at him,” Smith said. “I’m saying it, it’s just me. I’m blaming him. I’m blaming the president of the United States of America if the New York Knicks lose this tonight.”

Wembanyama 40-20-7
The NBA's Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs, certainly set the Frost Bank Center on fire when he scored 40 points, took 20 rebounds and made seven assists against the visiting New York Knickerbockers. A 40/20/5 from a rookie is a pretty rare thing indeed.
But, don't get too excited. The game was essentially meaningless to all intents and purposes. The Spurs have been eliminated from the post season, while the Knicks are through to the playoffs. So, what just happened was the usual statistics padding exercise. There was very little on the line other than pride.
While Wembanyama is an outstanding player, we are yet to see if he can withstand the pressure of season after season in the NBA.
