Sport delivered both euphoria and heartbreak today. In New York, a 53-year wait ended as the Knicks beat the Spurs 94-90 in Game 5 to seal the NBA title, with Jalen Brunson pouring in 45 points and leading yet another comeback, this time from 16 down. The city erupted in celebration, though some scenes turned chaotic, with police responding to disorder in the streets. Elsewhere, Scotland made its own bit of history, opening its World Cup campaign with a tense 1-0 win over Haiti, John McGinn’s first-half strike securing the nation’s first tournament victory since 1990 and offering real hope of a knockout-stage push. But the day also carried tragedy: near Butler, Missouri, a plane carrying skydivers crashed shortly after takeoff, killing all 12 on board and prompting a major investigation into what went wrong.
