The New York Knicks stole Game 1 on the road Wednesday, June 3, which means the Spurs cannot afford to fall into a 0-2 hole before the series moves to Madison Square Garden next week. As it is, history is already against San Antonio; teams that lose Game 1 of the NBA Finals have gone on to lose the series 69.6% of the time (24-55).
It will be incumbent on Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama to bounce back from a tough showing in Game 1, one in which he shot just 6-of-21 from the field. Wembanyama has stressed that all the Spurs need to do is play to their identity.
“We just need to be normal,” Wembanyama said Thursday.
That said, the Knicks are entering Game 2 Friday, June 5 on a 12-game postseason winning streak, something only three teams have done.
