🔑 Three things that won the Knicks a title

1. Unmatched comeback DNA
The Knicks won all four series games by erasing double-digit deficits. Following their NBA Finals record 29-point comeback in Game 4, they stormed back from a 16-point Game 5 hole to seal the championship, proving no deficit is too big for this squad.

2. Brunson’s historic Finals MVP performance
Brunson took over the fourth quarter with 13 straight clutch points, finishing with 45 points to break Willis Reed’s 56-year-old Knicks Finals scoring record. He also becomes just the 4th player in NBA history with 45+ points in a title-clinching game, joining Jordan, Pettit, and Giannis’ elite club.

3. Spurs’ historic early dominance wasn’t enough
San Antonio made play-by-play era history with 10+ point first-quarter leads in all five Finals games. The Knicks started cold (16 missed shots out of 18) but flipped the game with a key 22-9 second-quarter run to set up the title win.
