The New York Knicks are one win away from their first NBA championship since 1973. With a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, the Knicks have the opportunity to clinch the title on Saturday night.

Closeout Opportunities

The Knicks have been successful in closeout games this season, winning all three of their opportunities by an average of 39.3 points. However, coach Mike Brown emphasized the importance of bringing their best effort, especially on the road.

New York got to the brink of this title by rallying from 29 points down in Game 4 to win 107-106 on OG Anunoby’s tip-in with 1.2 seconds left. It was the largest comeback in NBA Finals history and the biggest comeback in any game this season, regular season or playoffs.

The Spurs have led each of the four games entering Saturday by double figures and let three of those games become losses. Spurs guard Dylan Harper noted that the team cannot get comfortable with a lead and must stay together as a group.
