Knicks Win Game 2 of NBA Finals 105-104 on Robinson Block

Mitchell Robinson blocked a shot in the final seconds to give the Knicks a 105-104 victory over the Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on June 5, 2026, at the Frost Bank Center. The Knicks held a one-point lead after a free throw with 7.5 seconds remaining. The Spurs advanced the ball and set up a 20-foot attempt that Robinson contested, forcing a miss off the side rim.

Robinson had undergone surgery to repair a broken fifth metacarpal before the series. He had accumulated early fouls on the opposing player but avoided further contact on the final possessions. The same opposing player had missed a prior attempt while guarded by Robinson when the score was tied.

The Knicks coach said Robinson defended the final two possessions correctly by showing his hands and boxing out after the attempts. Robinson stated he focused on contesting shots without fouling after picking up three early fouls. Robinson, the longest-tenured player on the team, noted he has been with the franchise for eight years through its lowest and highest points.
