Summary
Game 3 shifts to Madison Square Garden on Monday with New York holding a 2-0 NBA Finals lead and two wins from its first title in 53 years.
13 straight playoff wins have fueled that edge, with the Knicks one victory from matching the second-longest single-postseason streak and a chance to reach the title unbeaten through the last three rounds.
Four New York wins over San Antonio this season all followed double-digit deficits, reinforcing the Knicks' claim that they are not rattled even when trailing.
San Antonio, down 0-2, says it remains unfazed as Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle stress the Spurs must solve late-game collapses and answer the expected Garden surge.
Nearly $10,000 upper-level ticket prices and President Donald Trump's planned attendance underscore the stakes around a game oddsmakers see as pivotal, with New York a -550 favorite to win the series.
