By now, it’s a mistake to think this Knicks team will go down without a fight.
It was a mistake to think that with New York down 2-1 in a first-round series against the Hawks, and it was a mistake to think that down 22 points in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
And yes, it was again a mistake to think that with the San Antonio Spurs leading by 14 points in the third quarter of Wednesday night’s Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
What ensued was a 25-14 close to the third, which eventually turned into a strong fourth-quarter finish in what became a 105-95 Knicks win in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
The Knicks shut the Spurs out in the final 2:15 of regulation. The road team scored nine straight, including a Jalen Brunson fadeaway that put his team up six with 37.8 seconds remaining.
