A historic night for New York Knicks fans. The New York team defeated the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, sealing the series 4-1 and winning the championship for the first time since 1973.

The absolute protagonist of the challenge was Jalen Brunson. The Knicks star scored 45 points and led the team to another spectacular upset, being declared the MVP of the finals. New York found itself at a disadvantage of 16 points during the second half and 10 points at the beginning of the last period, but reacted strongly in the decisive moments of the match.

Brunson also made club history, setting a new record for points by a Knicks player in a Finals game, surpassing the achievement of legend Willis Reed.

On the other side, Victor Wembanyama had a solid performance with 19 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks, while youngster Dylan Harper added 25 points off the bench. However, the Spurs failed to maintain the lead and surrendered in the face of a strong comeback from their opponents.

After the final whistle, celebrations erupted across New York City. The city's iconic Empire State Building was lit up in the Knicks' orange and blue colors, while thousands of fans gathered near Madison Square Garden to celebrate their team's long-awaited return to the pinnacle of American basketball.
