The NBA Finals took a turn Sunday night — correction, Monday night — as Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs held off the New York Knicks 115-111 to cut New York’s series lead to 2-1. The Knicks had a chance to go up three games, but Wembanyama made sure that didn’t happen. No specific stat line was released beyond the final score, but his presence was clearly the difference in a four-point game. New York still holds the series advantage heading into Game 4.
Over in MLB, the Yankees rallied past the Cleveland Guardians 7-5 in ten innings. Cody Bellinger delivered the big blow — a two-run single with the bases loaded in the tenth that put New York ahead for good. The Yankees improve to 39-26, sitting comfortably above .500, while Cleveland falls to 37-31. It was the kind of clutch extra-inning win that keeps a team’s rotation fresh and the bullpen nervous at the same time.
No other tracked regional teams were in action Monday. The Bills, Sabres, Rangers, Giants, Red Wings, Knighthawks, Cornell, Hobart, and Syracuse all had the night off.
