In the cathedral of Madison Square Garden, the San Antonio Spurs held what seemed an unassailable lead — only to watch it dissolve in the second half as the New York Knicks authored the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history. Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs' transcendent young star, offered a rare and sobering admission afterward: his team simply did not want it enough when it mattered most. What was nearly a series-clinching triumph has become instead a precipice, with San Antonio now needing three straight wins to deny New York its first championship in over half a century.
