If Game 3 was a gut-check, the Knicks answered it about as fast as a team can. Back home at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, New York held off a desperate San Antonio team in another nail-biter, winning 107-106. The series now sits at 3-1, and the Knicks are one win — just one — away from the franchise’s first championship in 27 years.
San Antonio came in playing like a team that had nothing to lose, and for most of the night, it showed. They matched New York shot for shot, took the crowd out of it more than once, and had a look at the lead in the final minute. But just like in Game 2, the Knicks made the winning play when it counted — a defensive stand on the Spurs’ last possession sealed it, and the Garden erupted.
One-point games are apparently just how this team does business now. Two of New York’s four wins this series have come down to the final possession, and twice now the Knicks have been the ones standing tall when the buzzer sounds. That’s not luck — that’s a team that knows exactly who it is in the biggest moments.
Now it’s back to San Antonio for Game 5, with a championship on the line. One win. That’s all that stands between this franchise and history, between this city and a parade down the Canyon of Heroes. 27 years of waiting comes down to this. Let’s finish it. 🗽🏀🔵🟠🏆
