Knicks Take 2-0 Finals Lead; Red Wings Fall to IronPigs

The Rochester Red Wings dropped a 4-2 decision to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs on Friday, falling in Triple-A action as the team looks to turn things around in the coming days. No individual stats were available for the game.

In the NBA Finals, the New York Knicks moved to a commanding 2-0 series lead with a 105-104 win over the San Antonio Spurs. Victor Wembanyama missed a potential game-winner at the buzzer, keeping the Knicks in the driver’s seat despite the Spurs’ 62-20 regular-season record making them heavy favorites coming in. It’s a genuinely notable result — the Spurs were among the league’s best teams all year.

In MLB action, the Boston Red Sox handed the New York Yankees a 5-3 loss, with Contreras hitting a home run and driving in three runs to pace Boston’s offense. The Yankees fall to 37-26 on the season, while the Red Sox improve to 27-35.
