Overview
- The Knicks lead the Finals 2-0 after a 105-104 Game 2 win that handed the Spurs a narrow defeat and shifted momentum to New York.
- Victor Wembanyama said some Spurs players do not yet grasp the Finals' rarity, calling the group “kind of like spoiled kids” as he and teammates process the setback.
- In Game 2 Wembanyama had a late turnover, committed the foul that gave New York the lead, and then missed a potential game‑winning jumper, highlighting a steep in‑game learning curve.
- Veteran Harrison Barnes warned teammates not to take the Finals for granted and urged focus on health and consistency while second‑year guard Stephon Castle reported his foot felt much better after a brief Game 2 exit.
- The Spurs are one of the league’s youngest Finals teams after a rapid rebuild, and NBA commissioner Adam Silver noted the matchup will produce the league’s eighth different champion in eight seasons, underlining the league’s parity.
