After decades of heartbreak in New York City, the Knicks have returned to another NBA Finals. Their opponents? The San Antonio Spurs, returning after a decade of disappointment.
This postseason has been a barn burner for the Knicks from start to finish. After barely sneaking into the top 10 teams in points per game in the regular season, they have dominated offensively in the postseason. Over their last 10 games, the Knicks have averaged 123.8 points. Currently, they ride an 11-win winning streak with two consecutive series sweeps.
The postseason has gotten tougher for the Spurs with each subsequent round, needing just five wins to get through the first round and a full seven-game comeback to take down the Thunder. San Antonio has also faced its own share of adversity, when Victor Wembanyama went down in the second round with a concussion before returning a few days later.
A major key to this series is each team's shot blocking abilities. The Spurs averaged 1.6 more blocks than the Knicks in the regular season, and one foul less per game. The Knicks have some major offensive threats to corral, and will need to step up their defensive game to handle the Spurs in this contest.
Here's what you need to know about Wednesday's matchup between the Spurs and Knicks, including broadcast information and start time.
