Brunson Powers Knicks to Game 1 Win

Jalen Brunson scored 30 points as the New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 105-95 in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday.

The Knicks extended their remarkable playoff winning streak to 12 games with the victory on the Spurs' home court. Despite Victor Wembanyama's presence, New York kept the Spurs' star relatively quiet while maintaining their dominance in the postseason. tbzikra.com
