Knicks defeat Spurs 105-95 to take Game 1 lead in 2026 NBA Finals

The New York Knicks opened the 2026 NBA Finals with a 105‑95 victory over the San Antonio Spurs at the Frost Bank Center on June 3, 2026. Jalen Brunson led New York with 30 points, including 13 in the decisive fourth quarter, while Karl‑Anthony Towns added a double‑double of 18 points and 12 rebounds. OG Anunoby contributed 17 points as the Knicks extended their playoff winning streak to 12 games, becoming the first team ever to beat the Spurs in a Finals Game 1 – the Spurs had previously been 6‑0 in such openings.

Victor Wembanyama recorded 26 points and 12 rebounds for San Antonio but shot poorly, making only 6 of 21 attempts, and later said he was “not worried” about the loss. The game featured a star‑studded crowd that included former Knicks great Patrick Ewing and celebrities such as Spike Lee, Ben Stiller and Timothée Chalamet. Game 2 is scheduled to return to San Antonio.
