If the Knicks were not the betting favorite at the start of Game 1, they certainly are now. Through two games in San Antonio, the Knicks came out victorious, 2-0.

In NBA history, 32 of 37 teams to lead 2-0 in the NBA Finals went on to win the series. This includes each team to do so while playing the first two games on the road.

The Knicks Game 2 win was as close as it gets. San Antonio led by as many as 12, with the Knicks staging a second quarter comeback. In the fourth quarter, the Spurs came roaring back but were just one point short.

For the Spurs to respond in Game 3, they’ll need to limit turnovers more effectively. Ben Stiller caught a key turnover in slow motion in Game 1 and those numbers did not improve much in Game 2. San Antonio had 16 turnovers to just 12 from the Knicks. A tighter offense with better handling and passing is a key for the Spurs to bounce back.

As they head back to New York, the Knicks will need to continue presenting and dispersing shooting threats. In Game 2, three players scored 20 or more points with five scoring 13 of more. This spacing and offensive diversity can help to prevent double-teaming and show that the team has many more effective shooters than Jalen Brunson.

Here’s what you need to know about Monday’s matchup between the Knicks and Spurs, including broadcast information and start time.
