Total Net Points | Game One Most impactful: 1. Josh Hart 2. KAT 3. Dylan Harper

12 IN A ROW FOR THE NYMFK!!! The Spurs have won every single NBA Finals game 1. Every single one. Until now. This Knicks team continues to break records, even other teams' records.

The biggest thing about this game was the Spurs never presented a problem that the Knicks couldn't solve. I expect the Spurs to figure out better offensive sets. Knicks impose their will and take game 1!!!!!

You might be a bit of a casual if you didn’t expect Brunson to be the smartest, best player on the floor tonight Spurs more physical team, and often overly physical without getting called on it #Knicks are much more experienced, savvier team and it showed.🔥 Game 1 Wemby shook!! 💀 #NBAFinals

I can’t understate how huge it was taking game 1. All the pressure is on the Spurs for Game 2. Knicks can play so much more free and open

The Knicks are celebrating winning 1 game in the Finals by setting off fireworks evidently. Spurs in 5

Let me coach the spurs next game. I gotta talk to them about all the three point attempts because woooo boy

Jalen Brunson erupted in the second half and scored 30 POINTS to lead the New York Knicks to steal Game 1 over the San Antonio Spurs, 105-95 Knicks lead the series 1-0 Brunson: 30 PTS, 3 REB, 2 AST Towns: 18 PTS, 12 REB, 4 AST Wembanyama: 26 PTS, 12 REB, 3 BLK Castle: 17 PTS, 8 REB, 3 AST

Knicks 105, Spurs 95: Scenes from Josh Hart powering the Game 1 win

Never would’ve guessed a Spurs/Knicks Finals, but based off of game 1, it’s gonna be a great Finals. Knicks have great chemistry, veterans, & great defense. The Spurs are young but tenacious, knock down timely shots, & can also clutch up on defense. This is gonna be whoever makes the least mistakes

ESPN shouldn’t have replayed that, don’t give the court raider the satisfaction #nbafinals #knicks #spurs
