The Knicks defeated the Spurs 105-104 on the road to take a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals. The win marked the team's franchise-record 13th straight playoff victory and made the Knicks the third road team to win the first two games of the Finals. The Knicks had blown a 14-point lead when officials ruled that the ball went out of bounds off a player attempting a three-pointer.
Jordan Brink, the team's director of video services and player development, convinced coach Mike Brown to challenge the call with 2:37 remaining.
After the review, officials reversed the call and awarded three free throws. The player made all three attempts. Brown credited Brink for the decision. "Jordan, he's been a master at this," Brown said. " The player who made the free throws finished with 17 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks in 36 minutes.
The successful challenge stopped the Spurs' momentum at a critical point in the game.
