The Knicks’ win streak extended to 12 games with a statement victory in Game 1 of the 2026 NBA Finals. Tonight, they’ll try to continue that by taking a 2-0 lead over the San Antonio Spurs.
Though the Knicks got off to a hot start, they found themselves trailing the Spurs, but a huge late-game run helped secure the 105-95 victory.
Jalen Brunson spearheaded the Knicks’ offense to finish with a game-high 30 points. He received tremendous interior support from Karl-Anthony Towns, who dominated his matchup inside to secure an 18-point, 12-rebound double-double.
The Spurs kept the game tight, largely due to a 26 point, 12 rebound, and 3 block performance from sophomore phenom Victor Wembanyama.
