Knicks Take 2-0 NBA Finals Lead — Game 2 Reaction | The Championship Chase (edition)

Episode 521 Published 15 hours ago
Description

The New York Knicks are two wins from their first title since 1973. On this Championship Chase edition of the Sports Chasers Podcast, lifelong Knicks fans Kevin L. Warren and D-Dubbz react to New York's 105-104 Game 2 win over the San Antonio Spurs — a 2-0 NBA Finals lead built on two road wins (Game 1: 105-95) and a 13-game playoff win streak.


We break down the game flow — San Antonio's 34-point first quarter, the Knicks' decisive 31-18 second quarter, and surviving a Spurs 14-0 fourth-quarter run to tie it at 97 — before New York closed it out. Plus: Jalen Brunson's gritty 20 points (7-25) and the game-deciding free throws, Karl-Anthony Towns' efficient 21 & 13, Mikal Bridges' 20 on 13 shots, OG Anunoby's two-way impact, and Landry Shamet off the bench. We get into the late Spurs turnover and foul, the final shot debate, officiating, national media narratives, and Mike Brown's coaching turnaround — then preview Game 3 at Madison Square Garden on Monday, June 8 at 8:30 PM ET.


No hot takes. No narratives. Just objective, fan-first sports talk.


🎯 HIGHLIGHTED CHAPTER

[11:18] The 30 Seconds That Decided Game 2 — Wemby's Turnover, Brunson's Free Throws & the Final-Shot Debate

We slow down the wildest stretch of the night: Victor Wembanyama's late giveaway, the foul that sent Jalen Brunson to the line, his go-ahead free throw, and the final possession that ended San Antonio's comeback. This is how a one-point road win in the NBA Finals actually gets closed out.
