The Knicks defeated the host San Antonio Spurs 94-90 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Saturday night, winning the championship four games to one. It was the Knicks’ first title since 1973.
It was a remarkable run to the world title for the Knicks, who finished the postseason with a 16-3 record. They won 14 of their last 15 games, including an incredible 13-game winning streak.
In the finals against the Spurs, the Knicks won all three games played in San Antonio. They trailed by double digits in all five Finals games and came back to win four of them. The most dramatic rally occurred in Game 4 at Madison Square Garden when they overcame a 29-point deficit to stun the Spurs 107-106. It was the biggest comeback in the history of the Finals.
