Knicks vs Spurs: Finals Rematch Begins

The NBA Finals open Wednesday night as the New York Knicks take on the San Antonio Spurs, who are favored after a seven‑game run to the Western Conference title.

The series pits the Knicks, riding a 10‑game double‑digit winning streak, against the Spurs, who entered the Finals as a heavy favorite. The Spurs, led by Victor Wembanyama, have home‑court advantage and a recent seven‑game playoff win, while the Knicks, though undefeated this postseason, face a tougher opponent than any they faced before. The matchup promises a high‑stakes battle between a dominant Knicks squad and a Spurs team that could make history with a championship win on their first playoff appearance. sport-ipl.my
