Knicks' only injury concern is to head coach Mike Brown

New York Knicks coach Mike Brown really wanted to call a timeout after Sam Merrill missed a three-pointer late in the fourth quarter of New York's 115-104 overtime win. So much that he injured his calf in the process.

The Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers both have clear injury reports for Game 2, aside from the coach's ailment, though Brown insists he will be "good to go" Thursday night.

Mike Brown desperately wanted a timeout

Brown's Knicks pulled off a 22-point comeback in the final eight minutes of regulation to force overtime, but the head coach tried to end it before the extra time. When Mikal Bridges grabbed the rebound on Merrill's miss, Brown leapt up to frantically call for time, only to see Bridges launch a desperation heave before the referees could call it.

In the chaos following the play, Bridges can't be faulted for trying to get up a shot. He did have roughly a second left on the clock when he secured the loose ball, but Bridges put the ball up quickly. So quickly that Brown couldn't call timeout in the interval between Bridges taking possession and taking the shot.

Brown was left with his hands on his knees near halfcourt, looking exhausted by the Knicks' comeback and the frantic final seconds. It turns out he was standing still thanks to a calf strain.
