DUBAI: As “Knicks in four” chants grow louder across New York, Victor Wembanyama is preparing to lead the San Antonio Spurs’ response.
Two wins from a championship. Two minutes from being level.
That is the story of the NBA Finals heading into Game 3 at Madison Square Garden, with tip-off scheduled for 4:30 a.m. GST on Tuesday, June 9.
The New York Knicks return home holding a 2-0 series lead and standing just two victories away from their first NBA title since 1973. The San Antonio Spurs, meanwhile, face a must-win contest, knowing that no team in NBA history has ever recovered from a 3-0 playoff deficit.
Yet despite the scoreline, little has separated the two teams.
