Jalen Brunson scored 30 points, including a late clutch basket. Josh Hart posted a triple-double with 15 rebounds and six assists while Karl-Anthony Towns repeatedly drove past a fatigued Victor Wembanyama.
De’Aaron Fox played through a high-ankle sprain but was limited as San Antonio’s bench struggled. Game 2 was scheduled for June 5 in San Antonio.
