Mike Brown, who is in his first year as Knicks head coach, said: “Any time you can participate in an event where you’re the last one standing and you’re able to hang a banner, you take that seriously. And all of our guys took that seriously.”<\/p>\n

San Antonio upset top seeds and reigning NBA champions Oklahoma City Thunder in Saturday’s semi-finals<\/a> thanks to a superb display from Victor Wembanyama.<\/p>\n

In his second game after missing 12 straight matches with a calf injury, he was limited to 18 points and 25 minutes off the bench.<\/p>\n

An emotional Wembanyama fought back tears at a brief post-game news conference, saying: “Sorry, I just lost somebody today.”<\/p>\n

Seven Knicks players reached double figures in points. Karl-Anthony Towns claimed 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Mitchell Robertson had 15 rebounds and two blocks from the bench.<\/p>\n

Dylan Harper led the scoring for the Spurs with 21 points.<\/p>\n

Victory was the Knicks’ sixth in a row – and 10th in 11 games – although the final does not count towards the regular-season standings.<\/p>\n

They are second in the Eastern Conference and the Spurs are fourth in the West.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
