Fans thronged New York streets as the Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 on Saturday (June 13) to claim their first NBA championship since 1973.

Jalen Brunson scored a game-high 45 points as the Knicks closed out the best-of-seven NBA Finals in five games, just days after completing the greatest comeback seen in the championship round.

Brunson was named Finals MVP after his relentless performance helped New York come from behind to clinch the title on the road in front of a strong contingent of traveling Knicks fans.

The Spurs started strong once again and held several double-digit leads all night, but the Knicks crawled back and finally took their first lead with 3:40 left to play.

The Spurs were unable to come back and the Knicks capped off a dominant championship run that saw them lose just three games in the postseason.
