Down 2-0, the San Antonio Spurs are heading to New York to take on the Knicks in a must-win NBA Finals clash. Before tipoff, we have you covered with everything you need to know.
Coming back from the 0-2 defeciet the San Antonio Spurs find themselves in against the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals is a long shot, but it's not impossible.
In 2021, the Milwaukee Bucks lost the first two games to the Phoenix Suns before ripping off four straight wins. So did the 2016 Cavaliers, the 2006 Heat, the 1977 Trail Blazers, and the 1969 Boston Celtics. It's a long shot, but it's possible.
In the first two games of the series, the Knicks successfully slowed down Victor Wembanyama. At just 22 years old, he's led the Spurs to the Finals, but the job isn't finished yet. As the road team, the deck is stacked against San Antonio, but they aren't out of it yet.
Before tipoff, we have you covered with everything you need to know, from betting odds, TV info, and injury reports for both squads.

Both Donald Trump and Zohran Mamdani are expected to be in attendance for Monday's game, with enhanced security set to be in place throughout the entire neighborhood, not just Madison Aquare Garden.
The Spurs entered the series as favorites, but quickly lost their edge. However, this is the first game where the Spurs are entering as underdogs.
Monday's game will be the first Finals game played in the Garden since 1999, which was also against the Spurs. If the Knicks can seal the deal in Game 4 in front of their fans, expect Karl-Anthony Towns to be lauded as Finals MVP, cementing himself as a legend in the Big Apple.
