The New York Knicks lead the 2026 NBA Finals 2-1 after the San Antonio Spurs stole Game 3 on the road, 115-111. Victor Wembanyama scored 32 points on 11-of-18 shooting to go with eight rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals. New York enters Game 4 on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden as a 1.5- to 2.5-point favorite.

The Knicks won the first two games by a combined five points, including a 105-104 escape in San Antonio on a late Jalen Brunson bucket. Wembanyama has averaged 29 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.3 blocks through three games. Yet San Antonio trails because its supporting cast has failed to punish New York's drop coverage or create enough secondary scoring.

Karl-Anthony Towns has dominated the interior with efficient scoring and rebounding that exploits San Antonio's occasional overhelp. Brunson's midrange gravity and clutch execution have covered New York's occasional half-court stagnation. A Knicks win pushes them to 3-1 and one victory from their first title since 1973. A Spurs win evens the series at 2-2 and returns home-court control for Game 5.
