What happened: The San Antonio Spurs secured a 115-111 victory over the New York Knicks in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, overcoming a massive drop in perimeter efficiency. After converting 14-of-26 three-pointers in the first half, San Antonio went cold in the final two quarters, managing just two makes on 13 attempts from deep.

Why it matters: The win is a vital pivot for San Antonio, snapping New York’s 13-game winning streak and preventing a nearly insurmountable 3-0 series deficit. Victor Wembanyama’s interior dominance helped steady the Spurs as their outside shooting deserted them, shifting momentum back to the underdogs at Madison Square Garden.

What to watch: The series continues tonight with Game 4 at Madison Square Garden as the Spurs look to pull even before returning to San Antonio.
