San Antonio ¨C Jalen Brunson was beaten and battered but not dismayed, and the New York Knicks star had enough energy to orchestrate a fine George Gervin impersonation with an Iceman-like final quarter ?in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
The Spurs icon surely appreciated Brunson¡¯s zest for heroics, but the city of San Antonio was stunned after the red-hot Knicks controlled the final two minutes while prevailing 105-95 on Wednesday night.
Brunson scored 13 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter, and the Knicks overcame a 14-point third-quarter deficit to win their 12th consecutive postseason game, tied for the second-longest streak in league history.
