This is Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs.
And this is the fifth straight game where the Spurs have amassed a double-digit lead in the first quarter.
The Spurs lead at the end of the first quarter. The Knicks went 4-for-21 (18%) from the field in the first quarter. They didn't reach the 10-point mark until around 2:30 left in the first quarter.
But as these Knicks -- and Spurs -- have shown, no lead is safe in these NBA Finals.
