Knicks Take 2-0 NBA Finals Lead After Wembanyama's Late Turnover

The New York Knicks edged out the San Antonio Spurs 105-104 in a nail-biting Game 2 of the NBA Finals, extending their series lead to 2-0. The game's dramatic conclusion saw Spurs' star Victor Wembanyama commit a crucial turnover in the final seconds, leading to a foul on Knicks' Jalen Brunson.

Brunson converted one of his two free throws, giving the Knicks a one-point lead. Wembanyama had a chance to win the game at the buzzer, but his shot rattled out, securing the victory for New York. The loss was a bitter pill for the Spurs, who were unable to capitalize on Wembanyama's stellar performance.

Wembanyama led all scorers with 29 points and added 9 rebounds, but his late-game mistake proved costly. For the Knicks, Karl-Anthony Towns was the top scorer with 21 points and 13 rebounds. This victory marked the Knicks' 13th consecutive playoff win, putting them just two wins away from their first NBA championship since 1973.

The series now shifts to New York, where the Knicks will have the home-court advantage for the next two games, holding a significant lead as they aim to close out the finals.
