Overview
- The New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 105-95 Thursday to take a 1-0 lead in the 2026 NBA Finals.
- Victor Wembanyama shot 6-for-21, finished with 26 points and 12 rebounds, and said after the game, “I was bad tonight,” while promising to adapt to the Knicks’ defense.
- Karl‑Anthony Towns played a decisive role by operating from the post, grabbing 12 rebounds and limiting Wembanyama’s touches near the rim, a matchup move commentators called the key to New York’s comeback.
- A fan ran onto the Frost Bank Center court during the fourth quarter to try to take a selfie with Wembanyama; the person was removed, arrested, and later banned for life from NBA arenas, league officials said.
- San Antonio still has home‑court advantage after a 62-20 regular season, the teams meet again for Game 2 in San Antonio, and the series is drawing heavy local and international coverage with Prime Video streaming live in France and BeIN Sports offering next‑day replays.
