Knicks win NBA finals opener interrupted by selfie-hunting fan

New York Knicks win NBA finals game one against San Antonio Spurs as fan invades court Thu 4 Jun 2026 at 1:40pm The New York Knicks have taken a 1-0 lead in the NBA finals after beating San Antonio 105-95 in the series opener. The Knicks stole a game on the Spurs' home floor, which was briefly interrupted by a fan sprinting onto the court at a crucial point in the fourth quarter. After Jalen Brunson hit a lay-up to put New York six points up with 6:34 left in the fourth quarter, someone ran from the stands to take a selfie alongside Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama. Security quickly converged and dragged him away as he tried to reveal a message scrawled on his T-shirt. The Knicks had just broken up a Spurs pass and, with possession up in the air, there was a jump ball. The Spurs then went on a 9-2 run to retake the lead with two minutes left, before Brunson hit a clutch three-pointer to kick off a 10-0 run by the Knicks to close out the game.
