The New York Knicks secured the 2026 NBA championship by defeating the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of the Finals, closing out the best-of-seven series.
Guards Jalen Brunson and forward Karl-Anthony Towns led New York, while San Antonio relied on standout rookie Victor Wembanyama. The Knicks’ Game 5 win gave the franchise a 4-1 series triumph and its first title since the early 1970s.
The result capped a postseason run highlighted by consistent scoring from Brunson and interior strength from Towns. Wembanyama’s performance kept the Spurs competitive throughout the series, but New York’s depth and late-game execution proved decisive.
