\nGame commences at 02:30<\/span><\/p>\n

New York Knicks star Karl Anthony Towns believes that his side has the ability to hold a lead as they take a 2-0 advantage into Game three of the NBA finals<\/a> against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Towns led the Knicks with 21 points and 13 rebounds in a 105-104 win over the Spurs at the Frost Bank Center in Game two this past Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The result came after the Knicks claimed a 105-95 win over their opponents in Game one, while the New York side will return to their home base with a confident aura.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now with a comfortable series lead to make a success of their first NBA final in 27-years, Towns believes that the Knicks played \u2018hard\u2019, given their reputation of being a physically dominant side.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>We played hard, we got ourselves a lead. It\u2019s something we\u2019ve done so well in this playoffs. We\u2019ve gotten leads and we\u2019ve held the leads,\u201d Towns said.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cToday, the Spurs fought. They got themselves back into the lead and put themselves in a position to win \u00a0but we found a way to get it done.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
