And today, you can’t tell a New Yorker shit! Knicks won the Super Bowl Game 1.
It wasn’t the Super Bowl, it was better — Game 1 of the NBA Finals, and the Knicks went into San Antonio and stole it from the Spurs, 105-95. Down by 14 and looking cooked early, they flipped the entire game in the fourth quarter. R.J. Barrett dropped 30 points, 13 of those in the fourth, nailing a crucial 23-footer with 1:50 left to spark an 11-0 run that closed the game. This was their first Finals win since 1999 and extends their insane playoff streak to 12 straight wins.
Wild moments from Game 1: RJ made history with 15 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in under 30 minutes—the first player to do that in a playoff game. The Knicks erased a 14-point deficit on the road and shut down the Spurs’ star, with Wemby finishing much quieter than expected. The series now stands 1-0 Knicks, just three wins away from ending a 53-year drought. Game 2 heads back to New York on Tuesday, June 9 at Madison Square Garden.
