The San Antonio Spurs finally gave the NBA Finals the response we all had been waiting for.
After dropping the first two games of the series, the Spurs bounced back with a 115-111 victory over the New York Knicks in Game 3, cutting the series to 2-1.
Victor Wembanyama led the way with 32 points, eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and three blocks in another outstanding performance.
The Spurs played well throughout the night and matched the Knicks possession for possession. Whenever New York threatened to take control, San Antonio had an answer.
For the first time in the series, the Finals feels evenly matched.
The Knicks entered Game 3 riding a 13-game playoff winning streak and looking capable of taking a commanding lead in the series. Instead, the Spurs protected their home floor and reminded everyone that they are not going away quietly.
The victory not only puts San Antonio on the board, but also changes the feel of the series heading into Game 4.
New York still leads 2-1, but the Spurs have shown they are capable of pushing the Knicks all the way.
