The New York Knicks are NBA champions. In a Game 5 of the NBA Finals Saturday night that looked much like the previous four, the San Antonio Spurs took a double-digit lead in the first quarter. But like in three of the previous four games, the Knicks rallied " this time from a 16-point deficit " to secure a 94-90 Game 5 win and a 4-1 series victory in the NBA Finals.
