Jalen Brunson scored 30 points as the New York Knicks erased a 14-point second-half deficit to stun the San Antonio Spurs 105-95 and take a 1-0 lead in the NBA Finals on Wednesday.Knicks talisman Brunson shrugged off an early injury scare to inspire a magnificent fightback and give New York a precious early advantage in the best-of-seven series.Brunson upstaged Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama with a masterful clutch fourth-quarter display, scoring 13 points in the final frame as the Knicks closed out a win to silence an expectant home crowd in Texas.The game was tied with just over two minutes to go, but Brunson marshalled the Knicks brilliantly and a late burst of scoring put the game out of the Spurs’ reach.“Just sticking together – it wasn’t really our night and wasn’t really my night most of the night but we kept finding a way, kept chipping away,” Brunson said.New York Knicks centre Karl-Anthony Towns shoots between San Antonio Spurs duo Victor Wembanyama (right) and Julian Champagnie.
