Knicks Rally From 29 Down to Take 3-1 Finals Lead

The Rochester Red Wings took care of business Wednesday, beating the Worcester Red Sox 5-2 to notch another win in the Triple-A East. No individual stats were available, but the result keeps Rochester moving in the right direction as the summer schedule heats up.

In the NBA Finals, the New York Knicks pulled off something that doesn’t happen often: they erased a 29-point deficit to beat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106, taking a 3-1 series lead. The Spurs entered as the better regular-season team at 62-20, but the Knicks — 53-29 on the year — now stand one win from a championship. A 29-point comeback in the Finals is the kind of thing that gets replayed for decades.

The New York Yankees closed out a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Guardians with an 8-4 win, improving to 41-26. Jazz Chisholm Jr. was the offensive catalyst, driving in three runs. Cleveland falls to 37-33 with the loss. The Yankees have been one of the more consistent teams in the American League, and a sweep of a .500-plus Guardians squad only reinforces that.
