Trailing 2–0, the San Antonio Spurs face a must-win Game 3 as they head northeast to face the New York Knicks in the 2025-26 NBA Finals series at Madison Square Garden on Monday. Having dropped the two opening games and with the series shifting to New York, the Spurs are on the back foot here, hence our prediction going against the away team.
The New York Knicks are now just two more victories away from ending their more than two-decade wait for an NBA championship. After back-to-back victories in San Antonio, the conversation is no longer about their chances of clinching the trophy, but whether they can become the first team since the 2018 Golden State Warriors to sweep the NBA Finals.
With the series shifting to New York and the momentum firmly on their side, the Knicks have a chance to further extend their lead. Victory here could also see Mike Brown's charges move within one win of capping off a remarkable postseason run featuring sweeps in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, Eastern Conference Finals, and potentially the NBA Finals. They have been dominant so far, but will the San Antonio Spurs give in without a fight? Stay with us as we examine further.

New York Knicks - San Antonio Spurs: Form Analysis
Once again, the San Antonio Spurs fell short of expectations in Game 2 on Friday despite heading into the contest as the favorites. They got off to a strong start in the first quarter, but found themselves trailing by 14 points deep into the final quarter before fighting back to level the score at 104-104 with just seconds remaining.
Victor Wembanyama's costly turnover afterwards proved to be the final turning point of the game, as Jalen Brunson converted the resulting free throw to break the deadlock and secure a 105–104 victory for the Knicks, condemning the hosts to back-to-back defeats in the series. The Spurs have now lost five of their last eight playoff games.
The New York Knicks are the first team since the 1995 Houston Rockets to win the first two games of the NBA Finals on the road
Meanwhile, the Knickerbockers extended their winning streak to 13 games after Friday's victory. That run includes five straight wins at Madison Square Garden. They haven't lost an NBA game at Madison Square Garden against San Antonio since 2021, winning all six, and have taken four of the five meetings between the two sides this season.
