Knicks expect battle as Spurs seek payback in NBA Finals

The NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs are set to begin on Wednesday, June 3, 2026. The Knicks, who have not won an NBA title since 1973, beat the Spurs 124-113 in the NBA Cup final in Las Vegas last December, a result that has fueled San Antonio's motivation heading into the championship series. Key players involved include Victor Wembanyama for the Spurs and Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns for the Knicks.
