KNICKS POSTCAST: TWO WINS FROM TITLE!

Locked On Knicks - Daily Podcast On The New York Knicks14mJune 6, 2026
AI-Generated Summary

The New York Knicks are two wins away from their first NBA title in 53 years after surviving a heart-stopping 105-104 comeback victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Despite blowing a 14-point fourth-quarter lead and seeing key players like Jalen Brunson miss 18 shots and Josh Hart score zero points, the Knicks rallied behind a historic performance from Mikael Bridges, who recorded his best game as a Knick with 20 points and 8-of-13 shooting. Carl Anthony Towns dominated early with 21 points and 13 rebounds, shutting down Victor Wembanyama and posting a +11 plus-minus. The win extends the Knicks' postseason win streak to 13 — the second-longest in NBA history — and marks their eighth consecutive road victory, all by double digits until tonight’s narrow one-point thriller. With the series now 2-0 in favor of New York, the pressure shifts to San Antonio to avoid a sweep, as the Knicks return home for Games 3 and 4 at Madison Square Garden.
