The New York Knicks have taken a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals following a 105-104 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. The win leaves the Knicks just two games away from an NBA championship that the city has been waiting to see for generations.
The contest was decided in the final moments after a turnover by Victor Wembanyama allowed Jalen Brunson to hit a go-ahead free throw with 9.5 seconds remaining. Wembanyama then missed a potential game-winning jumper just before the final whistle.
The best-of-seven series now shifts to New York for games three and four. This leaves the Spurs in need of an unprecedented comeback to remain in the finals.
