The San Antonio Spurs quieted a packed Madison Square Garden on Monday night, defeating the New York Knicks in Game 3 of the 2026 NBA Finals and cutting into New York’s early series lead.
Before a sellout crowd, San Antonio weathered several Knicks runs and relied on timely shooting and disciplined defense to secure the road victory. The win shifts momentum toward the Western Conference champions as the best-of-seven matchup heads to a pivotal Game 4 in Manhattan.
The Knicks, who had ridden their home-court energy to this point in the postseason, struggled to match the Spurs’ efficiency down the stretch. Despite a late push, New York failed to close the gap, sending fans home disappointed after the first Finals contest at the Garden in years.
Game 4 is scheduled for Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.
