Knicks Snatch Game 2 in San Antonio Thriller
The New York Knicks seized a commanding 2-0 NBA Finals series lead, snatching a nail-biting 105-104 victory over the San Antonio Spurs at the Frost Bank Center. Holding a slim four-point advantage at halftime (52-56), New York extended their lead to nine entering the fourth quarter (75-84). Despite a valiant effort from the Spurs, spearheaded by Victor Wembanyama's 29 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 blocks, they ultimately fell short. The Knicks, who received 27 points from their bench compared to San Antonio's 19, were led by Karl-Anthony Towns' double-double of 21 points and 13 rebounds, with Mikal Bridges contributing 20 points and 6 assists. San Antonio shot an efficient 47% from the field, but 16 turnovers proved costly against the Knicks' 11 steals. This crucial road win puts New York in the driver's seat, now up 2-0 in the best-of-seven series as it heads back to Madison Square Garden.
