Wembanyama Misses Final Shot as Knicks Take 2-0 NBA Finals Lead Over Spurs

New York Knicks edged the San Antonio Spurs 105-104 in Game 2 of the NBA Finals to take a commanding 2-0 series lead. Jalen Brunson sank the go-ahead free throw with 9.

5 seconds remaining after a costly turnover by Victor Wembanyama moments earlier. Wembanyama then missed a potential game-tying jumper at the buzzer, sealing the Knicks' narrow victory.

The closing sequence defined the contest, with Wembanyama's late turnover and missed shot proving decisive. New York capitalized on home-court advantage to build a significant edge in the best-of-seven series.

The Spurs now face an uphill battle heading into Game 3, where they will look to regroup on their home floor and avoid falling into a 3-0 hole.
