NEW YORK — The streak is over. All of the talk about the dominance is now an afterthought. The New York Knicks, for the first time in nearly two months, look mortal.And yet, that tends to be when they are at their most dangerous.New York breezed into Game 3 of the NBA Finals, landing body blow after body blow on whoever stood in front of them. The run, which has featured victory after victory by astronomical margins, had many anointing them one of the best playoff teams of all time. But it was put to a halt Monday night in a 115-111 loss to the San Antonio Spurs inside Madison Square Garden.However, the Knicks’ true identity wasn’t defined by that stretch of brilliance. Anyone who has paid close attention over the last two seasons knows that their DNA is rooted in their resiliency. We’ve seen this team come back from double-digit deficits time and time again to win games. We’ve seen them win the NBA Cup, go 2-9 shortly thereafter and then, when the world was eager to write them off, rattle off eight straight wins. We’ve seen them go down 1-2 in a playoff series, only to then morph into the greatest version of the Michael Jordan-Chicago Bulls and 2010s Golden State Warriors and pile up 30-point victory after 30-point victory.New York, even with a 2-1 series lead, now has to get back to what got it here to avoid heartbreak. History says everything will be OK.“It’s not a surprising feeling (to have lost),” said OG Anunoby, who scored 28 points on 9-of-13 shooting in Game 3. “They’re a great team, as well. They weren’t just going to lay down.“All we can do is move and learn from this. We have to take it as adversity and just respond to it.”The Knicks’ play Monday night was as uncharacteristic as the atmosphere leading into the game. This was supposed to be a celebration. The NBA Finals were back in Manhattan for the first time in 27 years. Yet fans, media and workers at Madison Square Garden were asked to arrive at the arena hours earlier than usual to accommodate President Donald Trump, who took up the offer from buddy and Knicks owner James Dolan to be the first sitting president to attend an NBA Finals game. Everyone had to go through TSA-level screening as secret service agents with big guns walked around the arena.
