The New York Knicks are NBA champions for the first time since 1973 after defeating San Antonio Spurs 94-90.

Jalen Brunson was the star of the show, producing a franchise-record 45 points in an NBA Finals game and earning finals MVP honours.

The Knicks guard inspired another comeback as New York recovered from a double-digit deficit to clinch the title in Texas.

The Knicks won four of the five games in the series, capping off a memorable season by ending one of the longest championship droughts in American sport.

San Antonio pushed the visitors all the way, with Dylan Harper scoring 25 points and Victor Wembanyama adding 19 points and 14 rebounds, but New York held their nerve in the closing minutes to secure a historic championship success.
