<\/p>\nDylan Harper led the Spurs with 21 points, Wembanyama scored 18 and De\u2019Aaron Fox had 16.<\/p>\n
\t<\/p>\n
New York dominated inside, outrebounding the Spurs 59-42, with Mitchell Robinson collecting 15 boards, including 10 on the offensive end. That helped give the Knicks a 56-44 edge in points in the lane.<\/p>\n
The Spurs, however, led for much of the game before the Knicks went on a 13-1 run that began late in the third quarter to go up 100-95. New York never trailed again.<\/p>\n
The Knicks got more than a trophy, each player with a standard contract got an extra $318,560 for winning, making the total $530,933 for even reaching the final.<\/p>\n
This game doesn\u2019t count in the standings, so both teams remain 18-7, putting them atop their respective divisions.<\/p>\n
Just making the final bodes well for both teams. The previous four finalists \u2014 Los Angeles Lakers, Indiana, Oklahoma City and Milwaukee \u2014 also made the playoffs. The Pacers made the Eastern Conference finals in 2024, and the Thunder won the NBA championship last season.<\/p>\n
