Ticket prices have surged, with the cheapest seat exceeding $5,000. The Knicks, leading the series 2-0, are aiming for their third NBA championship, advancing from past Finals where they lost to the Spurs in 1999. If the Spurs hope to extend the series, they face the challenge of overcoming the historical trend of teams that lose the first two games in the NBA Finals not returning to win the championship.
