They did it! The New York Knicks held off the Spurs in San Antonio for their first NBA Championship in 53 years.
Knicks captain Jalen Brunson put New York up and Mitchell Robinson’s offensive rebound off a Josh Hart missed free throw with 21 seconds to go was as big as they come.
The Knicks held on for the 94-90 victory and the celebration was on for New York in Texas and around the world.
“I’m in awe,” Jalon Brunson said to ABC sideline reporter Lisa Salters, who was overcome with emotion when asked about sharing this with his dad, Knicks assistant coach Rick Brunson.
“Every single time, we’re going to find away. Every time,” Jalen Brunson said.
Brunson, who finished with 45 points including 13 straight for New York in the fourth quarter of the Game 5 clincher, was named series MVP.
