The New York Knicks secured a 105-104 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, taking a 2-0 series lead. Jalen Brunson hit a go-ahead free throw with 9.5 seconds left after a turnover by Victor Wembanyama, who then missed a potential game-winning jumper at the buzzer. Karl-Anthony Towns led the Knicks with 21 points and 13 rebounds, while Brunson and Mikal Bridges each scored 20. The Knicks have now won 13 consecutive games, the second-longest playoff streak in NBA history. Wembanyama, quiet in the first half, finished with 29 points for the Spurs, and De'Aaron Fox added 20. The series shifts to Madison Square Garden for Game 3, where ticket prices have surged, with some seats approaching $10,000. President Donald Trump is expected to attend Monday's game. The Knicks are now the third team to win the first two Finals games on the road, joining the 1993 Chicago Bulls and 1995 Houston Rockets, both of whom went on to win championships.
