After a thrilling first game of the 2026 NBA Finals, the Knicks and Spurs will return to action on Friday night for a pivotal Game 2.

Behind Jalen Brunson’s 30-point performance, the Knicks stormed back in the second half, overcoming a double-digit deficit to take Game 1 on the road. Brunson led the charge in the final frame, but he got plenty of help from Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby throughout the series opener.

Now, the pressure is on the Spurs to even up the series before it shifts to Madison Square Garden. Victor Wembanyama had 26 points in Game 1, but he will need to be more efficient after shooting 6-of-21 from the field.

Follow along right here for live updates and highlights from Game 2 between the Knicks and Spurs.
