New York Knicks win first NBA championship since 1973

The New York Knicks captured their first NBA title since 1973, rallying from a 29‑point deficit in Game 4 of the Finals and clinching the series with a 107‑106 victory in Game 5. Center Mitchell Robinson, who contributed throughout the postseason, left the team shortly after the win, signing a three‑year, $47.4 million contract with the Boston Celtics that includes a player option in the third year.

In a separate incident, a Knicks fan claimed he and his party were expelled from a New York hotel after wishing Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama good luck. The fan alleges the hotel manager told them to leave, citing alleged harassment, and is considering legal action.
