New York Knicks take 2-0 NBA Finals lead after Wembanyama's miss

The New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 105‑104 at the Frost Bank Center, giving the Knicks a 2‑0 lead in the 2026 NBA Finals. Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 29 points, 22 in the second half, but a late turnover and a missed game‑winning jumper in the final seconds allowed Jalen Brunson to draw a foul and sink the decisive free throw for New York. Karl‑Anthony Towns contributed 21 points and 13 rebounds, while Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson each added 20 points for the Knicks. The win was highlighted by a dramatic 14‑0 fourth‑quarter run by the Spurs that brought the game to a tie before the final sequence. Post‑game, Wembanyama accepted responsibility, saying he needed more composure and control. The series now shifts to Madison Square Garden for Games 3 and 4, with the Knicks preparing to host the Spurs and a reported presence of President Donald Trump among the spectators.
