Victor Wembanyama poured in 32 points as the San Antonio Spurs 115‑111 edged the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, snapping the Knicks' 13-game winning run. The victory trimmed New York's series lead to 2‑1 and kept the Spurs within striking distance. The win also marked the Spurs' first postseason victory at the iconic venue since 2014.

Knicks guard Jalen Brunson matched his Game 1 output with 32 points, while OG Anunoby added 28 and a late three that narrowed the gap to two. However, guard Keegan Castle hit a clutch three with 1:53 left and sealed the win with two free throws in the final seconds, and preserved the lead. The Spurs held firm after a 35‑point third.

The loss ends the Knicks' chase for a first championship since 1973, leaving them just two victories from the title but exposing vulnerabilities that the Spurs may exploit in Games 4 and 5. With the series shifting back to San Antonio for Game 5, the momentum swing could force New York to adjust its defensive schemes before the final showdown for the franchise.
