NBA Finals Game 3
San Antonio Spurs at New York Knicks
Start Time: 8:30 PM ET
The Knicks return home holding a commanding 2-0 series lead.
New York has won 13 consecutive playoff games and covered eight straight spreads. The Knicks have consistently dictated tempo, executed late-game situations, and forced San Antonio into uncomfortable offensive possessions.
The Spurs face a critical situation. Teams trailing 0-2 often produce their best effort in Game 3, but New York has shown little vulnerability through two games.
Jalen Brunson continues to perform at an MVP level while New York’s defense has limited Victor Wembanyama’s overall impact during critical stretches.
