Victor Wembanyama leads Spurs to 115‑111 Game 3 win, cutting Knicks' NBA Finals lead to 2‑1

Victor Wembanyama scored 32 points, added eight rebounds, six assists and three blocks as the San Antonio Spurs defeated the New York Knicks 115‑111 in Game 3 of the 2026 NBA Finals, narrowing the series to 2‑1. The win snapped the Knicks’ 13‑game postseason winning streak and ended their first loss in 46 days. The game, played at Madison Square Garden before a crowd that included President Donald Trump, saw the Spurs surge to a double‑digit lead early, hold off a late Knicks comeback, and avoid a 3‑0 series hole.

Wembanyama said after the game, “There’s really no reason to overthink it. This is what I’m built for.” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson praised his star’s focus, while guard Stephon Castle noted the team’s “urgency is probably the highest it’s been all playoffs.” The Spurs, 6‑3 on the road this postseason, now aim to become the first team to win the Finals after losing the first two games at home.
