The New York Knicks are up 1-0 in the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, and they'll be looking to steal another one on the road for Game 2. It was a masterful fourth quarter for the Knicks, as they walked down the Spurs in the final minutes to seal the deal.

Robinson is listed as probable against the Spurs, which means more likely than not, he'll be playing. The Knicks saw how Robinson performed in Game 1, and were probably encouraged despite his injury. He finished with two points and six rebounds in 13 minutes of playing time.
There was a time when Robinson was trying to go for a dunk, and he missed, then he was seen shaking his hand as if it hurt. Luckily, he was able to stay in the game and continue playing, and he gave the Knicks some good minutes.
He also had some good defensive reps on Victor Wembanyama, who is one of the players they have to key in on if they want to win the series.
Hopefully, Robinson can't make his hand injury any worse on the court, and he can continue to play at a high level.
