NBA Finals: Knicks vs. Spurs Prediction, Spread, Over/Under for Game 5

San Antonio was utterly dominant to begin NBA Finals Game 4, holding a 76-49 lead at halftime. It was the third-largest halftime margin in NBA Finals history, fueled by an NBA Finals record 14 3-pointers over the first two quarters.

Negative regression was bound to hit in the second half, but no one expected the Spurs to muster up only 30 points in the entire second half. That included a 16-point fourth quarter, while the Knicks logged 32 points over the final 12 minutes of regulation.

San Antonio had kept New York G Jalen Brunson in check for most of the series, proven by his 37.0% field goal percentage (FG%) in the first three games of the series. Brunson had his best performance yet in the historic comeback with 36 points while making 12 of 25 shots (48.0%) and 3 of 7 3-point attempts (42.9%). 

The Knicks finished Game 4 by shooting a blazing 46.9% from beyond the arc, knocking down 15 of 32 attempted triples. New York F OG Anunoby played a major role by posting 33 points while cashing in 7 of 9 treys.

The Spurs are officially on the ropes, and only one team has won the NBA Finals following a 3-1 series deficit. Will San Antonio fend off the Knicks in tonight’s elimination game?
