New York will bring a 2-0 lead and 13-game winning streak into Game 3 of the championship series. The Knicks are ready to play in front of one of the most electric crowds in recent memory and take another step toward the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
However, New York knows that the series is far from over. San Antonio had opportunities to take control in Games 1 and 2, and Victor Wembanyama will be highly motivated to deliver a signature performance after missing a potential game-winning shot in the previous battle.
Follow along right here for live updates and highlights from Game 3 between the Knicks and Spurs.
