San Antonio led for 56% of this game. They had a 14-point lead in the third quarter. Wembanyama was everywhere.

And yet — Knicks 105, Spurs 95.

Here's our read: This wasn't a Knicks masterclass. It was a Spurs collapse dressed up as a Knicks comeback. The difference was Fox (7 points, 3-of-13) missing a mid-range look to tie it at 97 with 1:50 left — and Brunson, who'd been hobbled since Q1, hitting the go-ahead three on the next possession. The Knicks' streak hits 12. The Spurs go home tonight knowing exactly what went wrong.

That's the version of events that makes Game 2 unmissable.

Three numbers that tell the whole story: 6 — Wembanyama's turnovers. Electric and reckless at the same time. 0-4 — Fox from three. No gravity, no spacing, no Spurs offense. 15 / 6 / 4 — Hart's boards, assists, and steals with just 3 points. Best non-scoring game of the night.

🗓️ Game 2 — Friday, June 5 · 8:30 PM ET · ABC · Still in San Antonio

What needs to change for the Spurs: Fox has to be Fox. Pop will adjust — but if Fox shoots 3-of-13 again on his own floor, this series could be over faster than anyone expected.

Our series call (standing by it): Spurs in 6. But Game 2 is now a must-win.
