The New York Knicks take a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals after defeating the San Antonio Spurs 105-104 in Game 2. Multiple outlets describe a one-point, late-game finish in which San Antonio mounts a late fourth-quarter challenge before narrowly falling short. The Spurs’ attempted game-winning push comes down to the final moments, with one report noting that Victor Wembanyama misses a potential game-winner just before the end. The result puts the series in New York for Games 3 and 4, as a best-of-seven match continues. Several sources characterize the Spurs’ situation as requiring an unprecedented comeback to overturn the 2-0 deficit. Coverage also emphasizes the Knicks’ ability to secure the win despite pressure in the closing stretch and the series shifting to Madison Square Garden for the next games. With the Knicks two wins away from the championship, attention centers on New York’s home-court advantage and whether San Antonio can recover quickly after losing the second straight game by a single point.
