After winning the NBA Cup, the New York Knicks opted against hanging a banner, awaiting a bigger celebration, which hinges on defeating the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals. This marks their first Finals appearance since 1999, and they are eager to end a 53-year title drought. The Knicks are riding an 11-game winning streak but face challenges due to an extended layoff, having played only nine games in 35 days. Game 1 is set for Wednesday in San Antonio, with both teams looking to claim victory in this historic matchup.
