The New York Knicks narrowly edged the San Antonio Spurs in a heart-stopping Game 2 of the NBA Finals, winning 102-101 on a missed jumper by Victor Wembanyama in the final seconds. The victory gives the Knicks a 2-0 series lead and brings them two wins away from their first championship since 1973. Key performances came from Jalen Brunson, who delivered clutch plays, and Carl Anthony Towns, whose defensive pressure on Wembanyama was pivotal. The game’s intensity was matched by a wave of emotional reactions, including a touching moment when Towns prayed to his late mother before the final possession.
