On Saturday night, the New York Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs by a score of 94-90.
With the victory, they have now won their first NBA Championship since the 1973 season.
SNY’s Ian Begley wrote: “Behind 45 points from Jalen Brunson, Knicks win in San Antonio to clinch franchise’s first NBA title in 53 years. Masterpiece from the NYK captain, who had 15 in fourth to help NYK rebound from 7-pt deficit. Massive offensive rebound from Mitchell Robinson late helped seal game”
