Knicks Lead 2026 NBA Finals 2-0 Over Spurs

The New York Knicks took a 2‑0 lead in the 2026 NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. In Game 1, the Knicks won 105‑95 with Jalen Brunson scoring 30 points, while Karl‑Anthony Towns added a double‑double. Brunson reportedly avoids the Larry O’Brien trophy, a detail highlighted by sports journalist Malika Andrews, and credited a unique pre‑game drill with his trainer for improving his shooting against Victor Wembanyama.

In Game 2, the Knicks secured another victory, prompting former Knicks star Walt Frazier to declare that “destiny” favors New York and to criticize Wembanyama’s late‑game decisions that he believes cost the Spurs. The series now stands at 2‑0, putting the Knicks on a path toward a possible sweep and their first title since the 1972‑73 season.
