Can anyone beat the Knicks? Spurs better figure it out soon. Will they beat the Knicks in gm 3 in NYC?

The San Antonio Spurs defeated the New York Knicks 115-111 at Madison Square Garden on June 8, 2026, in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, pulling to within 2-1 in the series. Victor Wembanyama led San Antonio with 32 points, and guard Donovan Castle added 23 — a combined effort that the Knicks' defense could not contain over four quarters.

The victory ended New York's 13-game postseason winning streak, the second longest in NBA history, snapping momentum the Knicks had built through sweeping the Atlanta Hawks and winning the first two games of the Finals in San Antonio. Playing in front of a sold-out MSG crowd that also included President Trump, the Spurs held off a fourth-quarter Knicks push to close out the win.

With the series now 2-1 in New York's favor, San Antonio has revived its title chances after a difficult start. Only 24% of the Predict Six community expected the Spurs to win on the road at MSG; the result represented a notable miss for the three-quarters majority who predicted a Knicks victory.
