It’s Monday, June 8, 2026, and the Knicks are back in the NBA finals for the first time since 1999, and they haven't won since 1973. Tonight, the beloved New York team—which currently has won 13 consecutive games and leads 2-0—returns to Madison Square Garden to continue their face-off with the San Antonio Spurs. Coincidentally, 27 years ago, it was the Spurs who beat out the Knicks 4-1 for the championship title, making Game 3 all the more of an anticipatory experience.
