The New York Knicks will face the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA championship series that begins tonight. The series follows a multi-year period in which the team advanced further into the playoffs than in prior seasons.
The current roster includes point guard Jalen Brunson, forward Karl-Anthony Towns, forward O.G. Anunoby, guard Josh Hart, and forward Mikal Bridges. The group has emphasized ball movement and defensive assignments during recent postseason games.
The Knicks last won an NBA title in 1973.
The franchise reached the finals in the 1969-70 and 1972-73 seasons before a stretch without additional championships.
Dolan has owned the team throughout the period without a title. In 2020 the organization hired Leon Rose as president with authority over personnel decisions.
The Spurs roster features center Victor Wembanyama.
The series is scheduled to continue over the next two weeks.
