Overview
- The New York Knicks won Game 2 in San Antonio by 105-104 to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven NBA Finals, and the series now moves to Madison Square Garden for Games 3 and 4.
- Victor Wembanyama turned the ball over in the closing seconds, Jalen Brunson made a decisive free throw with 9.5 seconds left, and Wembanyama then missed the final shot that would have given the Spurs the win.
- Karl-Anthony Towns had a double-double with 21 points and 13 rebounds while Brunson and Mikal Bridges each scored 20, and Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 29 points as New York’s depth helped close out a chaotic finish.
- The Knicks have extended their postseason streak to 13 straight wins, are two victories from their first NBA title since 1973, and are now the third team ever to win the first two Finals games on the road.
- Game 3 is scheduled for Monday at Madison Square Garden where President Donald Trump plans to attend, U.S. broadcasts run on ESPN/ABC, and viewers in much of Latin America can watch on Amazon Prime Video or NBA League Pass.
