Gavin Schall and XJ break down the craziest win in NBA History and the Knicks being just one game away from winning the NBA Finals.

OH MY GOD THEY DID IT!

The New York Knicks made a record comeback from 29 points down and moved to the brink of their first championship since 1973 by beating the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 on Wednesday night. OG Anunoby tipped in the miss of Jalen Brunson’s long 3-point attempt with 1.2 seconds remaining to complete the rally, giving the Knicks a 3-1 lead and three chances to win the championship. It looked impossible early, when the Spurs rolled to a 27-point halftime lead. But Brunson helped bring the Knicks back with 36 points and Anunoby finished with 33. Game 5 is Saturday night in San Antonio. No team had come from more than 24 points down in a finals game, when Boston did it against the Lakers in 2008, since the NBA began keeping detailed play-by-play for all four quarters in 1997. The Spurs led 81-52 in the third quarter. The Knicks had their 13-game winning streak snapped in Game 3 and seemed headed for a second straight defeat throughout the first half, when Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs opened the biggest NBA Finals halftime lead by a visiting team. But the young Spurs, who made 11 of their first 16 3-pointers, went cold in the second half, going 3 for 17 behind the arc as the Knicks outscored them 58-30. Delirious fans inside Madison Square Garden sang along to Journey's “Don’t Stop Believin’” a few minutes after watching something that seemed almost impossible. Wembanyama had 24 points and 13 rebounds but shot just 9 for 25 from the field. Join JAY BERMAN for the Knicks Postcast!

Gavin Schall rolls solo to break down exactly what the Knicks need from their superstars in Game Four to take back control of the series.

Victor Wembanyama has his first NBA Finals win - and the New York Knicks suddenly have a lot of work left to end their 53-year championship drought. Wembanyama had 32 points, eight rebounds and six assists, carrying the San Antonio Spurs to a 115-111 victory Monday night that cut the Knicks’ lead to 2-1 in the best-of-seven series. San Antonio is trying to make a first-of-its-kind NBA Finals comeback, and the 7-foot-4 Wembanyama, with his array of skills, makes anything look possible. “I’m sure Victor has numerous sources of motivation,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “I don’t think any of us are surprised or expect anything different than a strong performance.” The Spurs handed the Knicks their first loss in 46 days and potentially salvaged their season in front of a Madison Square Garden crowd that included President Donald Trump. The Knicks had their 13-game winning streak, the second-longest in NBA postseason history, snapped and missed a chance to move to the brink of their first title since 1973. Their previous loss occurred on April 23 in a one-point defeat to the Atlanta Hawks. They won the next three against Atlanta, swept Philadelphia and Cleveland and took the first two games against the Spurs. Join JAY BERMAN for the Knicks Postcast!

The New York Knicks sputter as San Antonio Spurs’ tactics force a rare defeat. Can the Knicks counter before the series slips away? Gavin Schall and XJ focus on the conversation on the Spurs’ relentless ball pressure, Steph Castle’s elite point-of-attack defense, and the Knicks’ struggles to adjust under physicality without a true secondary ballhandler.

The New York Knicks surge toward NBA Finals immortality, fueled by Jalen Brunson’s leadership, Karl-Anthony Towns’ dynamic play, and Mike Brown's flexibility. Can the San Antonio Spurs adjust their tactics in time to halt the Knicks’ momentum, or is destiny pushing New York closer to a championship parade?

This episode of Locked On Knicks features Gavin Schall and Ku Khahil breaking down Game 2 of the NBA Finals, focusing on the New York Knicks' gritty win over the San Antonio Spurs. They spotlight Karl-Anthony Towns' emergence as a defensive and offensive force, alongside OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges' key contributions for the Knicks.

The New York Knicks edge San Antonio Spurs in a heart-stopping finish, moving just TWO wins away from their first NBA title in decades. Jalen Brunson struggles late, but the Knicks' depth—highlighted by Karl-Anthony Towns outdueling Victor Wembanyama and Mikal Bridges’ clutch shot-making—keeps their championship dreams on course. Did head coach Mike Brown’s bold lineup pivots and willingness to exploit Landry Shamet’s hot hand make the key difference against San Antonio’s late-run adjustments?

The New York Knicks are two games away from their first NBA championship since 1973. The Knicks held on for a thrilling 105-104 Game 2 win against the San Antonio Spurs in the 2026 NBA Finals on Friday night. They lead the series 2-0 thanks to two road wins and will now head to Madison Square Garden with a chance to potentially clinch a title. The Spurs trailed by as many as 14 in the fourth quarter in Game 2 and stormed all the way back to take the lead in the waning minutes. However, in a tie game, Victor Wembanyama turned the ball over with nine seconds left and then missed a potential game-winning shot at the buzzer. Karl-Anthony Towns scored a team-high 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting and grabbed 13 boards for the Knicks, who saw five players score at least 13 points. Jalen Brunson was not efficient, but he tallied 20 points on 25 shots and hit the game-winning free throw. Brunson stole the ball when Wembanyama threw an errant pass off the back of Stephon Castle. Wembanyama was looking to Castle for an outlet pass, but Castle's back was turned. Brunson was fouled by Wembanyama and knocked down his first free throw to give New York the lead. Wembanyama finished with 29 points, with 22 of them coming in the second half. He had an and-1 with 57 seconds left that put the Spurs up by two points, but they would not score again. San Antonio is just the third team to lose the first two games of the NBA Finals at home. The other two teams -- the 1993 Suns and 1995 Magic -- both lost the series.
