Brunson Lifts Knicks Past Spurs 105-104 in Game 3 — Spurs Vs Knicks Game 3
The Knicks edged the Spurs 105-104 in spurs vs knicks game 3, and Jalen Brunson delivered the final points after Victor Wembanyama’s turnover in the closing seconds. New York’s second straight win over San Antonio came by one point again, with the game decided on the last possession.
Brunson and Wembanyama
Brunson was smothered for long stretches and kept missing shots, but he still found the one that mattered. He tied the game at 104 with an off-kilter jumper, then scored the game-winning point after Wembanyama threw the ball away.
Wembanyama had dragged the Spurs back into the game with his second-half heroics. That late turnover erased the work and handed the Knicks the opening they needed on the road in Game One of the Finals.
Towns Holds the Knicks
Karl-Anthony Towns was the fulcrum of the Knicks’ win, steadying a group that needed every possession. The margin never grew wider than the final point, which left no room for a clean answer from San Antonio.
Mikal Bridges remains part of the broader Knicks story behind this result. New York traded four unprotected first-round picks, a top-four protected first-round pick from the Milwaukee Bucks, an unprotected pick swap, a second-round pick, and Bojan Bogdanović to get him in 2023, and he had never missed a game in his N.B.A. career before arriving in a season that has not always matched that price.
Bridges and the Knicks
Bridges and Brunson, Josh Hart, and Donte DiVincenzo won a national championship together at Villanova, and that shared history has become part of the Knicks’ identity. It also sits beside the more immediate reality that the team has now taken two straight from the Spurs, with Game One on the road and Game Two ending 105-104.
For New York, the result keeps the pressure on San Antonio after Wembanyama’s late mistake. For the Spurs, one possession turned a comeback into a loss, and the series has already produced a finish that leaves no margin for another slip.
