No debe resultar fácil sobreponerse a un mazazo como el que recibieron los San Antonio Spurs el pasado miércoles. El equipo liderado por el colosal Victor Wembanyama ganaba al descanso por 29 puntos de diferencia a los New York Knicks en el cuarto partido de la serie de las finales de la NBA. Todo parecía hecho para que los del sur de Texas igualaran las series 2-2 y recuperaran el factor cancha en una ronda final que pasará a la historia por la igualdad entre las dos franquicias. Pero el deporte a veces es caprichoso y depara sorprendentes giros de guion. Un desfallecimiento ofensivo de los Spurs en la segunda mitad dio alas a los neoyorquinos, que lograron una histórica remontada en el último segundo, con un increíble palmeo del alero OG Anunoby, que desató la locura en el Madison Square Garden.

Largest comeback in NBA finals history galvanizes city and inspires morning-after chants of ‘Knicks in five!’

New Yorkers woke up on Thursday morning – those who had even slept in the city that never sleeps – still jubilant after the Knicks men’s basketball team had made history the night before.

The team staged the largest comeback in NBA finals history to overcome the San Antonio Spurs in the dying seconds of the fourth game of the finals – and put themselves 3-1 up and within one game of a rare championship win.

Los de Nueva York toman una ventaja de 3-1 y quedan a una sola victoria de su primer anillo desde 1973, que podrían conquistar este próximo sábado en San Antonio. Solo los Cavaliers de LeBron en 2016 han remontado un 3-1 en la historia de las Finales Leer

Victor Wembanyama has his first NBA Finals win — and the New York Knicks suddenly have a lot of work left to end their 53-year championship drought.

New Yorkers didn’t hesitate to make their displeasure heard during Donald Trump’s attendance at one of the city’s most important sporting nights in decades. In a packed Madison Square Garden, as the national anthem played before the start of the first NBA Finals game to be staged in New York in 27 years, fans erupted in boos when the president of the United States — the first sitting president to attend an NBA Finals game — appeared in his box, protected by bulletproof glass, and appeared on the arena’s giant screen. The Republican offered a mocking smile as the game between the Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs got under way in a series the New Yorkers now lead 2-1 after the visitors’ 115-111 victory.

The night began with frustration and boos, and not because of the Knicks. But by the end of Game 3 of the N.B.A. finals, the team had slightly deflated some spirits, too.

Donald Trump was loudly booed when he was shown on the video screens at Madison Square Garden on Monday night before Game 3 of the NBA finals between the San Antonio Spurs and New York Knicks.

Trump was shown on the jumbotron while the Star-Spangled Banner was being sung before the game, and jeers and boos broke out around the arena. The president was shown for a little over eight seconds and held a salute the whole time with a smile on his face. A few seconds later, the video board showed Knicks players in line and the boos turned to cheers.

Sports commentator Stephen A.

Six people were stabbed at Penn Station, New York’s main intercity rail hub and its busiest station. The attack occurred on Sunday after 7.00 p.m. local time (1.00 a.m. CEST) between 33rd Street and Seventh Avenue, the New York Fire Department told local media. The incident comes as the city is on a high security alert ahead of a planned presidential visit on Monday by U.S. President Donald Trump, Game 3 of the NBA Finals, and the start of the FIFA World Cup.

“The world will stand still, and the eyes of the world will be focused on North America,” the 56-year-old Swiss president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, said a few days ago from the United Nations headquarters in New York. With four days to go before the ball starts rolling, the three host countries — the United States, Mexico, and Canada — say they have everything ready. Or, more precisely, almost everything. The biggest soccer tournament in history — 48 national teams playing a total of 104 matches — takes place amid various circumstances that complicate organization: the United States remains at war with Iran, President Donald Trump’s strict immigration policies are frightening away many supporters, and FIFA’s dynamic-pricing ticket system has put seats out of reach for much of the fan base.
