NBA Finals & Postseason

The New York Knicks moved one win away from an NBA championship after erasing a 29-point second-half deficit to defeat the Spurs in Game. The victory sparked celebrations among a star-studded crowd that included Taylor Swift and Rihanna, validating early-season projections that predicted a Finals appearance for the New York franchise. Jalen Brunson remains the favorite for the MVP award as the Knicks look to close out the series.

The San Antonio Spurs are dealing with fallout from the Game 4 loss, as Victor Wembanyama is now one point from suspension after recording his second postseason flagrant foul on Wednesday. Despite the turmoil, coach Mitch Johnson publicly backed De'Aaron Fox as the team prepares for Game, hoping Fox can bounce back from a poor shooting performance.
