Knicks drop Game 3 at raucous MSG as Spurs strike back in NBA Finals

June 9, 2026 / Sophie Clearwater /

The first NBA Finals game in Manhattan since 1999 had Madison Square rocking.

But the Knicks couldn’t make more magic happen in a 115-111 Game 3 loss to the Spurs on Monday night.

New York struggled to get the offense rolling in the second half and was outscored in both the third and fourth quarters.

Victor Wembanyama, who became a Garden villain, led the way with 32 points for the Spurs.

Jalen Brunson made it a three-point game with a trey ball with 33.7 seconds left, but De’Aron Fox’s two on the other end proved to be a dagger the Knicks could not overcome.

Game 4 is slated for Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. back at the Garden.
