The 2026 NBA postseason began with 20 teams on April 14, and now we're down to two.
The San Antonio Spurs ended the Oklahoma City Thunder's hopes of becoming the first team since the Kevin Durant-led Golden State Warriors of 2017 and 2018 to win back-to-back titles, returning to the Finals for the first time since raising their fifth banner in 2014.
In their way are the red-hot New York Knicks, who stormed through the Eastern Conference, winning 11 consecutive games by an average of 23.8 points to reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999 -- when their title hopes were dashed by Tim Duncan and the Spurs.
Will Victor Wembanyama cement his early rise to NBA dominance, or will Jalen Brunson captain the Knicks' first NBA title in 53 years?
Our experts have everything you need to know about this epic Finals matchup. (Catch all the action on ABC and the ESPN App.)
