The Spurs stormed into Madison Square Garden and took Game 3 of the NBA Finals from the Knicks 115–111 to cut New York’s lead in the series to 2–1. The Knicks went cold in the fourth quarter, which led to their first loss in 13 games, snapping a historic playoff winning streak.
New York hadn’t lost since April 23, Game 3 of its first-round series against the Hawks. A four-point loss in the first Finals home game at MSG in 27 years was hard to swallow, and Knicks coach Mike Brown took an issue with the officiating at his postgame presser.
