Knicks vs. Spurs score: Live updates from NBA Finals as New York goes for 3-0 lead at MSG

For the first time this century, the New York Knicks are hosting an NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks will look to take a commanding 3-0 series lead against the San Antonio Spurs in Monday night's Game 3 as New York enters two wins away from its first championship in 53 years. The Knicks have won 13 consecutive playoff games and will have a raucous crowd at MSG, where ticket prices have soared and security was heightened with President Donald Trump set to attend Monday's game.

The Knicks won two close games in San Antonio to open the series. Jalen Brunson came up clutch in Game 1 as the Knicks erased a 14-point deficit. The Spurs came back from the same margin late in Game 2 and were on the verge of tying the series, but Victor Wembanyama committed a costly turnover in the final seconds and then missed a good look at a game-winning jumper.

NBA Finals overreactions

We've been treated to two great games in these Finals. The Knicks have won them both (and have won their last 13). And while New Yorkers dream of a parade by the end of the week, there's still a long way to go before we crown a champ. With that in mind, John Gonzalez is making a few NBA Finals overreactions through two games.

Goodbye to the Giannis/Knicks trade chatter?

Why a Knicks playoff hero could be changing the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade sweepstakes

It wasn't long ago when the Knicks were considered the frontrunner to land Giannis Antetokounmpo in a trade. The fit made sense, and Giannis reportedly liked New York as a potential destination. Giannis is still on the trade block. But the Knicks are in the NBA Finals, with Karl-Anthony Towns playing the best basketball of his career.
