2026 NBA Finals: New York Knicks Defeat San Antonio Spurs 4-1 to Win Championship, Jalen Brunson wins Finals MVP

June 14, 2026

The New York Knicks ended a 53-year drought by capturing the 2026 NBA championship, defeating the San Antonio Spurs 4-1. The series was defined by New York’s late-game execution and historic comebacks, notably rallying from a 29-point deficit in Game 4 and erasing a double-digit lead in the Game 5 clincher.

New York’s balanced offensive attack and resilient defense allowed them to win three pivotal games on the road. Point guard Jalen Brunson led the charge, rightfully securing the Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP award after a breathtaking 45-point masterpiece in Game 5. Karl-Anthony Towns provided critical floor spacing and interior toughness, while Mikal Bridges delivered elite two-way play, anchoring the perimeter defense and hitting timely buckets.

The young Spurs fought valiantly but struggled to maintain large leads under pressure. Victor Wembanyama was a generational force, anchoring the paint with historic shot-blocking while leading his team in scoring. All-Star guard De’Aaron Fox used his blazing speed to dictate the tempo, while Devin Vassell served as a reliable secondary scorer. Ultimately, New York’s veteran poise proved too much for the rising Spurs.

NEW YORK KNICKS WIN 1ST TITLE SINCE ’73

Jalen Brunson scored 45 PTS (15 in 4Q) for New York, as they rallied from down 16 PTS to win their FIRST title in 53 years and their third title in franchise history with a 94-90 win in Game 5 over the Spurs.

The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated an undermanned Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals to hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy. Pacers are without their star Tyrese Haliburton who suffered a torn right Achilles tendon in the opening quarter of Game 7.

Even though the Pacers kept the game close in the first three quarters, it was apparent that the absence of Haliburton affected the team. In the final period of the game the Pacers were unable to score for four and a half minutes, by the time they made their first basket, OKC was already enjoying a 20-point lead with 7:29 remaining in the game.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander lead the team with 29 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists, he’s also took home the Bill Russell trophy for winning the Finals MVP. Aside from winning both the Regular Season and Finals MVP awards, Shai is also this year’s Scoring Champion with 32.7 ppg. Before this season, the feat of winning the Regular Season MVP, Finals MVP, and scoring title in one season had only been achieved by four players in NBA history: Jordan (four times), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1971, and Shaquille O’Neal in 2000.

Shai got a lot of help from Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren who scored 20 points and 18 points, respectively. Five OKC players scored double digits points the includes Alex Caruso and Cason Wallace who scored 10 points, apiece.

After a dominant season, the Boston Celtics are back on top of the NBA mountain. With a convincing 4-1 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in the Finals, the Celtics secured their 18th championship title, etching their name in history as the winningest franchise in NBA history.

Jayson Tatum, finally hoisting his first Larry O’Brien trophy, delivered a masterful performance throughout the playoffs, culminating in a phenomenal 31-point, 11-assist and 8 rebounds in the clinching Game 5. Tatum wasn’t alone. Jaylen Brown, the newly crowned Finals MVP, proved himself to be an unstoppable force on both ends of the court, averaging over 23.9 points per game in the Finals series. Then there’s Jrue Holiday, who finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds and Center Kristaps Porzingis who provided the emotional anchor after missing the game 3 and 4 because of a dislocated tendon in his left ankle, he chipped-in five points in 17 minutes.

Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla deserves all the respects for his leadership throughout the season. After receiving most of the criticism last season due to his lack of coaching experience on the NBA’s biggest stage, this championship win is a remarkable turnaround.

Here are some of the highlights for the Boston Celtics celebrations;
