Away win 2-0! Championship secured early! Thank you, Victor Wembanyama!

Terrible, just terrible...

Young man, haste makes waste.

With 11 seconds left in the game, the Spurs had a game-winning opportunity, but Wembanyama made a fatal passing error, allowing Jalen Brunson to steal the ball and draw a foul, hitting the go-ahead free throws.

Wembanyama tried to redeem himself and save the Spurs, but his mid-range game-winner missed.

Yes, quite shocking.

NBA Finals Game 2: Knicks 105-104 Spurs; Game 1: Knicks 105-95 Spurs.

Absolutely insane,The Knicks now lead the Spurs 2-0 on the road. In NBA Finals history, only two teams have previously taken a 2-0 road lead: the 1995 Rockets (sweeping the Magic 4-0) and the 1993 Bulls (beating the Suns 4-2).

It's safe to pop the champagne early and say the Knicks have already locked up the 2026 NBA championship. The only questions are whether they can sweep the Spurs and who will win Finals MVP.

Data site Polymarket Sports updated Finals MVP odds: Jalen Brunson leads at 54%, Karl-Anthony Towns rises to second at 30%, and Victor Wembanyama drops to third at 16%.

There's no denying that Brunson is the Knicks' current primary star, delivering clutch plays repeatedly. Over two Finals games, he shot 19-for-56 from the field, totaling 50 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists.But Towns' importance cannot be overlooked. He actually contained Wembanyama, shooting 15-for-27 over two games for 39 points, 25 rebounds, and 8 assists, while Wembanyama shot 17-for-42 for 55 points, 21 rebounds, and 4 assists.

Towns a softy? No, he's rock hard. As if being a No. 1 overall pick isn't enough—the top pick of the 2015 draft is giving the 2023 top pick a vivid lesson on this Finals stage.

Interestingly, the Knicks were once Giannis Antetokounmpo's top preferred new destination, and Towns was considered the core trade chip to acquire the Greek Freak. But what never happened is now just history.
