The New York Knicks escaped San Antonio with a 105–104 victory over the Spurs on June 5 at Frost Bank Center in a low-scoring affair that fell well short of the 217.5-point Vegas total. Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 29 points while Dejounte Fox added 20, but San Antonio's 47.4 percent field-goal shooting and 11 three-pointers proved insufficient against New York's balanced attack. Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges each scored 20 points for the Knicks, who won the three-point battle decisively with 15 made threes compared to San Antonio's 11, while also forcing 11 steals and committing just 12 turnovers. New York's second quarter proved decisive, outscoring the Spurs 31–18 to build crucial separation, though San Antonio mounted a fourth-quarter push that came up one point short. The Knicks' superior assist total of 29 to 22 and defensive rating of 103.1 versus San Antonio's 104.7 reflected their superior ball movement and perimeter defense throughout. This victory positions New York favorably in their ongoing playoff campaign.
