The Knicks, leading the series 3-1, can close out the Spurs in San Antonio on Saturday night.
"You have to be present," Knicks coach Mike Brown said Friday. "You can't think about the outcome. It's about the process, the next play, the next play, the next play."
The series could easily be tied right now, after San Antonio wasted a 29-point lead in Game 4 in what became the biggest collapse and biggest comeback in NBA Finals history.
