Knicks edge Spurs 105-104 in Game 2, take 2-0 finals lead

The New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 105-104 on Saturday to take a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals. Jalen Brunson scored the decisive points with late free throws as the Knicks held on in a tight finish at the Frost Bank Center. Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama missed a potential game-winning shot in the final two seconds. The home team nearly completed a comeback after erasing a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter but could not close the gap in the closing moments. The series shifts to New York for Games 3 and 4. The Knicks have won 13 consecutive playoff games, matching the second-longest streak in franchise history. New York has not captured a championship since 1973 and would clinch the title at Madison Square Garden if the series reaches a fifth game. U.S. President Donald Trump attended the game from the stands.
