Summary
Kendrick Perkins said San Antonio will bounce back in Game 2 and send the NBA Finals to New York tied 1-1, posting on social media that he expects the series to be even by Monday's Game 3.
105-95 was the margin in Game 1, where the Knicks closed on an 11-0 run to steal home-court advantage in San Antonio and extend their postseason winning streak to 12 games.
Jalen Brunson drove that opener with 30 points, including 13 in the fourth quarter, as New York capitalized after extra rest from its sweep of Cleveland.
San Antonio enters Game 2 looking sharper after coming off a draining seven-game series against defending champion Oklahoma City, with Devin Vassell saying the Spurs can play "so much better."
