When Knicks’ star Jalen Brunson exited Game 1 of the NBA Finals in the first quarter with a knee injury, it seemed for a brief moment like the worst-case scenario.
On the ABC broadcast, Mike Breen called it a potential “nightmare scenario” for the Knicks.
Brunson then returned in the second quarter only to suffer an apparent ankle turn.
But none of that mattered in the end as Brunson took over in the second half and finished with 30 points on 12-of-31 shooting as the Knicks overcame a 14-point second-half deficit to steal Game 1 in San Antonio, 105-95.
The Knicks out-scored Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs, 29-19, in the fourth quarter to win their 12 straight playoff game and seventh in a row on the road.
