43,238-Share Bid Wall Anchors Knicks at 79% After Game 2 Win

The New York Knicks championship contract held at 79% as of 14:50 UTC Saturday, up 26 percentage points from a 53.05¢ session open, after Jalen Brunson hit a go-ahead free throw with 9.5 seconds remaining to seal a 105–104 road win in Game 2 and lift New York to a 2-0 Finals lead. The contract peaked at 81.85¢ at 03:03 UTC before settling back as profit-takers worked the bid.

¶Why now

Brunson made a go-ahead free throw after Wembanyama's late turnover; Wembanyama's buzzer attempt then missed to lock in the result, with Karl-Anthony Towns adding 21 points and 13 rebounds (ESPN). The repricing was market-wide — the contract ran from a 49.3¢ visible session floor at 01:26 UTC to the 81.85¢ peak at 03:03 UTC as the final score cleared. In today's post-game session, 7 of the 15 most recent fills were taker-buys of YES at 0.791; the largest was a 137-share purchase by 0xwings at 14:39 UTC. The book shows a 43,238-share bid wall at 0.789 against just 961 ask-side shares at 0.791 on a 0.002 spread — a structure that has absorbed sell flow without moving price.
