For the first time in 53 years: New York Knicks are NBA champions
A superb performance by Jalen Brunson took the Knicks to the promised land: the ring
The New York Knicks won their first NBA championship in 53 years this Saturday, after beating the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the series in Texas, sealing the contest in Game 5 by a score of 90-94.
This is the third ring in the history of the New York franchise, which obtained top honors in the years 1970 and 1973, being one of the teams with the greatest tradition and fans in the country.
The Knicks thus crown a dream season, in which they also won the NBA Cup against the Spurs, finished third in the Eastern Conference regular season and beat teams like the Hawks, 76ers and the Cavaliers in the playoffs, led by Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns on the court, with Mike Brown in command from the bench, and the invaluable contribution of figures like OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart.
