The Spurs led after the first quarter, 34–25, but the Knicks had a huge second quarter to erase that early lead and go ahead into halftime. After a quiet start to the series, Wembanyama came alive down the stretch and led the way on a 14–0 San Antonio run, briefly taking the lead in the final minute. Jalen Brunson tied the game up moments later, and bad late turnover by San Antonio’s star center put the ball in Brunson’s hands with under 10 seconds left.He was fouled, and converted on 1 of 2 free throws at the line to put New York up 105–104, which proved to be the final score after a Wemby miss to end the game.In Game 3, the Spurs once again gave away its big, early lead with a -18 second quarter, but put it all together in the second half.
