The Knicks were on a 13-game winning streak in the last game, and they were almost on the verge of consecutive defeats when they conceded the biggest half-time lead by a visiting team in the finals, however, credit must go to the team for not giving up and fighting till the last moment, which eventually helped them win the game. The Spurs also failed to match their intensity in the second half, with Knicks outscoring them 58-30.
