The New York Knicks captured the 2026 NBA title on June 14, defeating the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 in Game 5 at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio. Jalen Brunson scored 45 points, including 13 consecutive in the fourth quarter, as New York rallied from a 16-point deficit to close out the series 4-1.
The comeback followed a pattern that defined the entire Finals: the Knicks trailed in all five games and won four of them. San Antonio held a 10-point lead with eight minutes remaining in Game 5 before New York closed out the championship in the final minutes.
The Knicks ended a 53-year drought dating to the 1973 championship team led by Willis Reed and Walt Frazier. Brunson was named Finals MVP. The community did not call this one — only 43 percent of voters predicted the Knicks would win on Saturday, making it one of the series more contrarian outcomes despite New York holding a 3-1 series lead entering the game.
