The Knicks victory is the team's first NBA Championship win since 1973.

Trailing by 16 points in the third quarter, Knicks captain Jalen Brunson led the fourth-quarter rally to clinch New York's first title since 1973 and just the third in franchise history with the 94-90 win. 

Fireworks shot off in New York within mere seconds of the final horn in San Antonio as long-suffering Knicks fans vented 53 years of frustration. 

Brunson would win MVP honors after his 45-point effort - the most any Knicks player scored in a Finals game since another famous team captain, Willis Reed, dropped 38 in Game 3 of the 1970 series. 

Remarkably, the Knicks trailed in the final two minutes of each of the series' first four games, three of which they still managed to win, including their historic 29-point comeback on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden.
