In Game Three of the 2026 NBA Finals, the Spurs surged to a 76-49 halftime lead, setting a record for threes in a finals half, but faltered in the second half as the Knicks rallied to cut the lead to one point in the final minutes. Despite late-game heroics from Jalen Brunson, the Spurs briefly regained the lead but ultimately faced a chaotic final possession. A missed shot from Brunson led to a tip-in by OG Anunoby, sealing the game for New York. The dramatic turnaround showcased the Spurs’ failure to maintain their dominance amidst the Knicks’ resurgence.
