Episode Details

The Knicks stunned the Spurs in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, rallying from a 14-point deficit to win 105-95 behind Jalen Brunson’s 30 points and Karl-Anthony Towns’ 18-12 double-double. OG Anunoby added 17 as New York extends its 12-game playoff win streak — a feat only seven teams have ever pulled off. This marks the first time the Knicks have ever beaten San Antonio in a Finals Game 1, ending the Spurs’ 6-0 record in those situations and snapping their streak of never trailing in a Finals series. Victor Wembanyama poured in 26 points and 12 rebounds but shot just 6-of-21. The game was packed with star power: Gregg Popovich, David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Patrick Ewing, Spike Lee, and even Timothée Chalamet were in attendance. A Brooklyn fan noted that flying first class to San Antonio for Game 1 was cheaper than buying tickets for Game 3 in New York. The Knicks tied it at 76 with 5:30 left, then sealed it with Brunson’s clutch corner three to go up 97-95. Game 2 heads to San Antonio on Friday.
