New York Knicks in 6
The series flipped in a night. New York erased a 14-point deficit to take Game 1 in San Antonio, 105-95, behind Jalen Brunson's 30 — stealing home court and the favorite's role. The Spurs still have Wembanyama and two of the next three at home, but they have to win Game 2 Friday to avoid an 0-2 hole.
- Can the Spurs protect home court in Game 2 after dropping the opener?
- Wembanyama's rim presence vs. New York's perimeter-heavy offense
- Brunson's clutch scoring vs. Stephon Castle's length
