🎯 BCE Trigger Check — FULL FIRE (4/4)
- ✓ Talent gap: Wemby + Castle + Vassell + experienced supporting cast

- ✓ Motivation: Closeout game on road — series win + rest before WCF
- ✓ Pace: Both teams top-10 pace; series totals trending Over
This is Phase 1 Bet #1 of 30 for BCE validation. Real test of the framework. BCE framework page →
Why lean Spurs
- Wembanyama anchor — DPOY-tier defense, increasingly weaponized offense, matchup nightmare vs Gobert/KAT
- Series momentum 3-2 with previous road win in the bank
- Talent + system + coaching across all four BCE conditions
- Closeout motivation — rest matters before WCF
Why MIN could still win
- Ant Edwards carry-game — 35-40+ pts possible in elimination
- Home crowd in must-win is a real edge
- Series hasn't been blowouts — close games could flip on margin
- Coaching — Finch knows how to manage elimination
