🔴 NBA Finals 2026 LIVE: New York Knicks vs San Antonio Spurs Game 5 LIVE | Can the Knicks Win?The Knicks are hoping to write the closing chapter of a thrilling, inspirational season this Saturday, aiming to defeat the San Antonio Spurs and claim their first NBA title in over 50 years. The Spurs, playing at home, are looking to stave off elimination and push the series to a sixth game.
Both teams enter the matchup fresh off a nail-biting Game 4 at Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks edged out a one-point win in the closing seconds in front of a packed house.
Much of the attention will be on Knicks guard Jalen Brunson and Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama, who have been the standout performers and driving forces behind their teams' postseason runs.
New York hasn't claimed an NBA title since 1973, and its last Finals appearance came in 1999, when the team fell to the Spurs four games to one — with that deciding game also played at the Garden.
While the game itself takes place at the Frost Bank Center, excitement will still ripple through New York City, with large and small celebrations expected across all five boroughs.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch have repeatedly cautioned fans, following a string of unruly episodes — including brawls, property damage and other disorderly behavior — that have broken out on city streets after previous games.
After Wednesday's game alone, police took 56 people into custody, with 15 formal arrests and 41 individuals issued criminal court summonses, according to the NYPD.
