Overview
- The Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs 105-104 on Saturday in Game 2, turning a back-and-forth contest into a one-possession finish with a decisive sequence in the final seconds.
- Jalen Brunson delivered the clutch plays down the stretch and finished with 20 points while Karl-Anthony Towns paced New York with 21 points and 13 rebounds to anchor the win.
- Victor Wembanyama committed a late turnover and a foul with 13 seconds left and then missed the Spurs’ final medium-range try, errors that directly contributed to San Antonio’s loss.
- The victory extended New York’s winning streak to 13 games and puts the Knicks two wins from an NBA title that would end a 53-year drought for the franchise.
- The series now moves to Madison Square Garden for Games 3 on June 9 and Game 4 on June 11, where intense ticket demand has pushed secondary prices above $11,000 and earlier watch-party celebrations prompted 17 arrests near the arena.
