The New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 105-95 in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, though not before a fan ran onto the court during the fourth quarter. With the Knicks leading 92-86 and 6:28 remaining, a male fan approached Victor Wembanyama with a cell phone, attempting to take a selfie before security quickly removed him from the Frost Bank Center.

Play resumed after officials called a jump ball when Spurs guard Dylan Harper lost control of the ball during the delay. Wembanyama won the tip, and the Knicks maintained their lead to secure victory. The incident marked the second unusual court interruption for the Spurs star, who previously had a bat cross the court during a January 2024 game against Minnesota.

Wembanyama acknowledged his poor performance after scoring 26 points on inefficient 6-for-21 shooting. "I was bad tonight," he said. Fans who run onto the NBA court face potential ejection, arena bans, or criminal charges. Coach Mitch Johnson dismissed the incident as insignificant, emphasizing the team's focus remained on the game itself.
