The San Antonio Spurs looked ready to make a statement in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, jumping out to a 14-point lead in the first quarter and taking a 27-19 advantage into the second. For a while, it looked like the same team that had powered through the Western Conference was going to overwhelm New York. But after taking a 7-point lead into halftime, the Spurs\u2019 offense went cold, managing just 40 points over the final two quarters as the Knicks stormed back for a 105-95 win.<\/p>\n
Now, San Antonio enters tonight\u2019s Game 2 needing a response before the series shifts to New York. Victor Wembanyama still finished with 26 points and 12 rebounds in the opener, but he shot just 6 of 21 from the field and had to grind his way to the free throw line to keep the Spurs within reach. The Knicks proved they are more than capable of making this a real series, and even with San Antonio favored by 5.5 points tonight, Wemby and the rest of the Spurs will need to be much sharper to avoid heading to Madison Square Garden in a 2-0 hole.<\/p>\n
