Karl-Anthony Towns led the New York Knicks to a 105-95 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, marking his debut in this round. The center explained that he didn't feel nervous before the game and arrived with an unexpected sense of calm.

"I don't know what it was, but I felt a calm and peace that had to come from the woman above," he said on ESPN. Towns, whose mother passed away in 2020, added: "I felt a lot of confidence today, I felt good. I felt like a kid. It was fun to be out there. The whole day was a strange feeling, like when I played AAU games as a kid. I felt like I could see her in the stands. It was a lot of fun and very comforting."
