Knicks storm through San Antonio to take Game 2, head home with NBA Finals lead
SAN ANTONIO — Victor Wembanyama’s first chance for true NBA Finals glory clanged off the back of the rim, and the New York Knicks are now just two wins away from their first championship since 1973.
Wembanyama, who scored 29 points for the San Antonio Spurs, missed a jumper before time expired as San Antonio lost Game 2, 105-104, on Friday night. Karl-Anthony Towns led New York with 21 points and 13 rebounds.
