Jalen Brunson leads Knicks to Game 1 win in NBA Finals

Jalen Brunson matched a rare playoff feat as the New York Knicks opened the NBA Finals with a road victory, extending their postseason winning streak to 12 games. Brunson shot 90% from the line, delivering clutch points throughout the game.

The Knicks defeated their opponents 108‑102, becoming only the third team to start the Finals with two road wins. The achievement follows the 1993 Chicago Bulls and the 1995 Houston Rockets.

New York now aims to keep the momentum alive for the remaining games.
