NEW YORK: The New York Knicks, fueled by a sensational 45 points from Jalen Brunson, beat the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 to win their first NBA title in 53 years on Saturday.
The Knicks won the best-of-seven championship series 4-1, denying Victor Wembanyama and his young Spurs teammates on their home floor to lift the trophy for the first time since 1973.
