<p>"<strong>Every single day we chip away and try to be the best that we can be,</strong>" Knicks star Jalen Brunson said after New York held off the Spurs 105-104 on Friday to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven Finals.</p><p>The Knicks are just the third team -- after Michael Jordan's 1993 Chicago Bulls and the 1995 Houston Rockets - to win the first two games of the Finals on the road, and both those teams went on to lift the trophy.</p><p>But Brunson and the Knicks won't allow themselves to celebrate too soon despite the frenzy their success has sparked in New York City.</p><p>"<strong>Even with the series (the way) it is now, next game, mindset has to be 0-0 again,</strong>" Brunson said. "<strong>It's just how it has to be. You can't be comfortable. You can't be satisfied with anything.</strong></p><p>"<strong>Just got to continue to push forward.</strong>"</p><p>The Knicks have won 13 straight playoff games - the second-longest post-season streak ever - to close in on their first championship since 1973.</p><p>Plenty of vocal Knicks fans packed San Antonio's Frost Bank Center for games one and two and ticket prices for games three and four at Madison Square Garden have soared.</p><p>Some 6,000 people showed up for a game two watch party outside Madison Square Garden, with New York authorities reporting that a police officer was assaulted and 26 people arrested outside the fabled arena as raucous celebrations got out of hand.</p><p>But if New Yorkers are already envisioning a title, the Knicks are keeping a laser focus on the upstart Spurs, led by 22-year-old French star Victor Wembanyama.</p><p>The young Spurs' inexperience has showed in games one and two, but with Wembanyama leading them they amassed the second-best regular-season record in the league and eventually dispatched the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder in seven games in the Western Conference finals.</p><p>"<strong>Knowing them, there's going to be another level,</strong>" Brunson said. "<strong>We have to be prepared and be ready to match it and play for 48 minutes</strong>."</p><p>The Spurs, for their part, are conceding nothing.</p><p>"<strong>It was going to take everything to win the series anyway,</strong>" San Antonio guard Stephon Castle said. "<strong>Putting ourselves in this type of predicament is going to be tough, but I don't think it's anything we can't handle.</strong>"</p>
