Following Game 1, Nacho García of Marca suggested that this may not yet be Victor Wembanyama’s moment to win an NBA championship, or at least that he will need to fight much harder after the home defeat. The Knicks’ message, however, is clear: they are not willing to let this opportunity slip away. They showed resilience by overcoming a 14-point deficit and carrying momentum built from 12 straight wins, taking control of the series early.

00:00The Knicks hit first, just like the Indiana Pacers did last season in Game 1 in OKC,
00:05the NBA Finals. And the message is clear by the Knicks. Maybe it's not time yet for Victor
00:12Wemanyama's coronation, or at least they have to fight much more to beat this amazing team,
00:20this amazing New York Knicks. I don't think this is the end of the story. We'll see plenty more,
00:27and I'm pretty sure that Wemby could sign at any moment. But today was more about resilience.
00:36The Knicks knew how to come back from a 14-point deficit in the third quarter, and it means a
00:42lot.
00:43It means that they have won 12 games in a row, and they will have the Garden in a few
00:51days with at
00:52least one win under their belt. Jalen Branson was the star, the big star, the big player that we were
01:00expecting. He stepped up again when the Knicks needed him most, and he knew how to battle against
01:11the Spurs' defense. He knew how to lead the team and did everything while he was recovering from an injury
01:21he suffered in the first quarter. This story is just the beginning, of course, but hope and excitement
01:28have already taken hold of Knicks fans, both in Manhattan and also all the Knicks fans that we found
01:38here in San Antonio in the Frostbank Center. So let's see what happens next Friday. 1-0 for the Knicks,
01:45and I want to invite you to join us for the NBA Finals coverage across all the market platforms.
