The New York Knicks secured a 105-104 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 of the 2026 NBA Finals at the Frost Bank Center. The win puts New York ahead 2-0 in the best-of-seven series, bringing the franchise closer to its first championship title since 1973.
Karl-Anthony Towns anchored the Knicks’ scoring with 21 points, while teammates Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges added 20 points apiece. Despite the Knicks building a 14-point advantage early in the fourth quarter, the Spurs staged a late comeback attempt that pushed the game down to the final possession, according to the AP.
Victor Wembanyama led the San Antonio effort with a game-high 29 points, with De’Aaron Fox contributing 20 points. A 14-0 run from the Spurs erased New York’s 97-83 lead, creating a tied game at 104 in the final minute. Jalen Brunson eventually broke the deadlock by drawing a foul and successfully landing one of two free throws.
The final seconds saw Wembanyama attempt a contested jumper to reclaim the lead, but the shot missed, allowing New York to escape with the win. This victory marks a significant milestone in the 1999 NBA Finals rematch, extending the Knicks’ current postseason win streak to 13 games.
