Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks are closer than ever to their first NBA championship in 53 years. The win in Game 2 over the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals saw them take a 2-0 lead in the series.

After their impressive performance in Game 1, the Knicks were stretched to the limit in Game 2. In the end, they secured a closely fought 105-104 victory over the Spurs at the Frost Bank Center on Friday night.

The hype surrounding the Knicks is louder than it has ever been over the last two decades. With two road games under their belt, the series now shifts to Madison Square Garden for Games 3 and 4.

The last time the NBA Finals took place at the MSG was in 1999 against the same opponents. After taking a 2-0 lead, the popularity is being felt in ticket prices for Games 3 and 4. The ticket prices are comparable to the Super Bowl.

The cheapest ticket price for Game 3 is $11,461, while the same for Game 4 is $13,065. The exorbitant ticket prices have been a matter of concern to the public, as it now costs over $24,500 for one person to attend both Finals games in New York.

Led by Jalen Brunson, the New York Knicks are on a historic run. The win in Game 2 extended their winning streak to 13 games in the postseason. Their last loss was in Game 3 against the Atlanta Hawks in the first round.

After coming up short in the Eastern Conference Finals last year, many believed that Brunson is not the right player to take the Knicks to a championship. However, Brunson has been the best player for his team throughout these playoffs. His performances have even seen some recognize the Knicks as legit contenders.

They can watch it on television. It’s sort of semi-free to watch it on television. But that’s the way life goes. Now if the game wasn’t a big, if the team wasn’t a big success, you could go very easily.
