Stephon Castle

Pressure has a way of revealing exactly who a player is, and Stephon Castle has no interest in hiding. With the Spurs trailing 2-0 in the 2026 NBA Finals, the sophomore point guard drove into the heart of New York's defense at Madison Square Garden and converted at the rim as part of a 23-point effort that helped dismantle one of the most celebrated home-court streaks in playoff history. Castle later added a shot-clock-beating 26-foot three that pushed the lead to 111-104, then sealed it at the free-throw line with 6 seconds left in a 115-111 Spurs win.
