With the Spurs facing the Knicks again, nostalgia is sweeping Spurs Nation.
Flashback: The Spurs beat the Knicks in the 1999 NBA Finals in a nail-biting Game 5 at Madison Square Garden that came down to a tie-breaking jumper by Avery Johnson with 2.1 seconds left on the clock.
Had the game been played in San Antonio, it would have been at the Alamodome. The SBC Center, which is now the Frost Bank Center, didn't open until October 2002.
Harrison Barnes had just turned 7 years old and De'Aaron Fox was just over 18 months old. Wembanyama wouldn't be born for five more years.
