NEW YORK — The Knicks’ push for an NBA championship will next pit them against either the Oklahoma City Thunder or the San Antonio Spurs, a matchup team officials acknowledge will be their sternest postseason hurdle to date.
Oklahoma City and San Antonio remain locked in their Western Conference series. Once that matchup is decided, the winner will travel to New York for Game 1 of the next round, with dates and times to be announced by the league.
The Knicks secured their place in the upcoming series after closing out their most recent opponent in the Eastern Conference. Players and coaches emphasized that preparation will begin immediately, even before their Western foe is officially set.
Team representatives did not specify lineup changes but said any adjustments will be driven by the contrasting styles of the Thunder and Spurs.
