BASK:Knicks sneak past Spurs and home in on NBA championship

NBA Knicks Jalen Brunson KarlAnthony Towns New York Victor Wembanyama San Antonio

Go crazy, New York. Or, perhaps more accurately, crazier.

The red-hot Knicks are going home, two wins away from an NBA championship that the city has been waiting to see for generations.

Jalen Brunson hit a go-ahead free throw with 9.5 seconds left after a turnover by Victor Wembanyama moments earlier. Wembanyama then missed a jumper at the end of New York's 105-104 win over San Antonio on Friday (Saturday AEST) as the Knicks took a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals.

For the Knicks, Karl-Anthony Towns had 21 points and 13 rebounds, while Brunson and Mikal Bridges each scored 20 points.

New York have now won 13 straight, the second-longest streak by any team in NBA playoff history.

"New York City showed up," Towns said.
