Magic Johnson weighs in on Knicks-Spurs NBA Finals before Game 3

Magic Johnson is unarguably one of the greatest basketball players of all time, so when he talks, people listen. Like much of the country, Johnson has been glued to the TV, watching the New York Knicks take on the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals.

The Knicks are now up 2-0 after overcoming the Spurs on Friday in an exciting 105-104 victory.

Now, Johnson is sharing his hot take about the game and the players in this year's NBA Finals. He especially has a lot to say about Victor Wembanyama and Karl-Anthony Towns.

Magic Johnson said Victor Wembanyama played a 'spectacular game'

On Saturday, Johnson took to his official X account to give props to some of the teams' players but also call out critical mistakes.

"Victor Wembanyama played a spectacular game tonight with 29 points and 9 rebounds, but his turnover in the closing seconds proved too costly for the Spurs to get the win," Johnson said. "Karl-Anthony Towns was impressive on both ends of the floor, dominating the first half and making nothing easy for Wembanyama defensively, finishing with 21 points and 13 rebounds."

He also made some good observations about the Knicks, stating that the third quarter of the game "told the whole story for the Knicks."

He added: "With Towns and Brunson on the bench, Mikal Bridges and Landry Shamet stepped up and secured the lead heading into the 4th. The Spurs made a strong push late but Brunson delivered the clutch shot and free throws when the Knicks needed them most. Tonight belonged to everyone in the Knicks' locker room - it was a complete team victory!"

So, Johnson is quite complimentary of the Knicks after Game 2. Up ahead, Game 3 is set for Monday night in New York City.
