Knicks Edge Spurs in Finals Game 2, Sabalenka Rolls On, and Fury-Joshua Talk Heats Up
Tuesday’s sports headlines delivered close finishes, hard practices, and plenty of future-fight speculation. In the NBA Finals, the New York Knicks edged the San Antonio Spurs 105–104 in Game 2, taking a 2–0 series lead. Jalen Brunson’s late free throw proved decisive before Victor Wembanyama missed a potential game-winner at the buzzer, according to the AP game recap.
Off the court, an NBA investigation into whether Clippers owner Steve Ballmer funneled money to Kawhi Leonard found no evidence of direct funneling. The finding keeps attention on league oversight while separating documented conclusions from online speculation.
The NFL brought its own intensity. The Saints and Cowboys held a physically demanding joint practice, with Alvin Kamara and Quincy Riley leaving early because of injuries. Elsewhere, the Bills signed free-agent defensive lineman Greg Gaines, while Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins faced a difficult Texans pass rush.
Tennis offered a cleaner result. World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka defeated Wang Xinyu 6–1, 6–3 at the Cincinnati Open, while Brandon Nakashima upset fourth-seeded Daniil Medvedev 6–7, 7–6, 6–1. Coco Gauff and Taylor Fritz also advanced. Al Jazeera’s report has more on the day’s Cincinnati action.
Boxing fans are watching the Tyson Fury–Anthony Joshua story develop, with reports pointing toward a November 20 fight in New York. Promoters Eddie Hearn and Dana White publicly sparred over claims involving Madison Square Garden, leaving fans with major interest but several details still to track. Al Jazeera’s earlier report outlines the broader November plan.
