In the grand theater of championship basketball, the New York Knicks reminded us Wednesday night that leads are not destinies. Down 14 points in San Antonio, they refused the narrative being written for them, with Jalen Brunson rising in the fourth quarter to orchestrate a 105-95 victory in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. It is a story as old as sport itself — the moment a team chooses belief over circumstance, and finds, to everyone's surprise, that it is enough.
