Wembanyama mistake hands Knicks control of NBA Finals

The Knicks took a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals with a 105-104 win over the Spurs, as Jalen Brunson sealed the victory by forcing a turnover in the final seconds and drawing a foul on Benson, who made the decisive free throw. Victor Wembanyama, who had sparked a Spurs comeback with 22 second-half points, then missed a 20-foot buzzer beater to tie the game. The win extended New York’s playoff streak to 13 straight, and San Antonio endured a dramatic moment in Game 2 after a court-visitor filmed himself during Game 1. The series continues Monday at Madison Square Garden in New York, with the attendance of US President Donald Trump planned for the Knicks’ pursuit of a first title since 1973.
