The NBA Playoffs are down to the Finals, with two months of postseason basketball set to determine which team will take home the Larry O'Brien Trophy in 2026.
We will have a new champion this year after the San Antonio Spurs took out the reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder in the seven-game Western Conference finals. They will face the New York Knicks, who are back in the Finals for the first time since 1999 after sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers in the East.
Nothing is certain once the playoffs roll around, except the stars will be out and high drama awaits on the road to the NBA Finals.
Here's everything you need to know about when and where to watch today's games in the NBA Playoffs.
