Good things come to those who wait for a long, long time. The New York Knicks clinched their first NBA championship in 53 years with another thrilling late comeback win over the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday.
Three days after grabbing a 3-1 NBA finals series lead by completing the largest comeback in finals history at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks sealed the deal on the road with another epic display of resilience and recovery, stunning the Spurs at Frost Bank Center.
As the Spurs blew a 16-point lead and wilted under pressure, missing a swath of makable shots, and with their young superstar Victor Wembanyama faltering when it mattered most, the Knicks’ Jalen Brunson hauled his fitful side to glory with a commanding performance, putting up 45 points in a 94-90 victory.
