A New York State of Mind

NEW YORK — The NBA Finals are so close to a 1-1 series instead of a 2-0 New York Knicks advantage over the San Antonio Spurs.

So close.

Had Victor Wembanyama not committed a turnover with 9.5 seconds left in the fourth quarter of a tie game. Had Wembanyama made the game’s final shot.

Had those things happened and not what transpired – a 105-104 Knicks victory in Game 2 on Friday – the discussion around the Finals would be different.

Instead of talking about a potential six- or seven-game series, the question is:

Can the Knicks sweep and win their first title since 1973 at home in Madison Square Garden … this week?

FULL PREVIEW

RBROWNBETS: It feels like New York is going to sweep San Antonio, so we'll take the Knicks on the moneyline (-130) in Game 3 Monday night. New York has been playing better team basketball and has a more seasoned roster. It's hard to envsion the Knicks losing at home after generating so much momentum in the first two games of the series. Best of luck with your bets ...
