De\u2019Aaron Fox and the San Antonio Spurs are hosting the New York Knicks in Game 5 of the 2026 NBA Finals on ABC.<\/p>\n
Game 5 of the 2026 NBA Finals is underway!<\/p>\n
The Knicks have the chance to win their first championship since 1973, while the San Antonio Spurs are seeking to keep their season alive (8:30 ET, ABC<\/a>).<\/p>\n JUNE 13 \/ 10:10 PM<\/p>\n Spurs push the lead back to double digits<\/p>\n Julian Champagnie (14 pts, 4-for-6 3PM) is hot to start the second half, helping the Spurs earn a 51-41 lead with 9:29 to go in the third quarter.<\/p>\n The Brooklyn native has been a consistent factor in this series, both as a shooter and a presence on the boards.<\/p>\n JUNE 13 \/ 9:46 PM<\/p>\n Spurs up 42-37 at the half<\/p>\n An old-school score for an old-school game, as Devin Vassell (4 pts) beats the buzzer to give the Spurs a boost going into the break. It\u2019s the lowest-scoring half of the Playoffs for New York.<\/p>\n The Spurs are shooting 34.1% from the field, while the Knicks are at 29.1%. This has been a physical, defensive contest, featuring four lead changes and two ties.<\/p>\n Jalen Brunson (16 pts) is the only Knick in double figures, as is Dylan Harper (11 pts) for the Spurs. But Victor Wembanyama (9 pts, 9 reb, 5 blk) is not far behind.<\/p>\n San Antonio\u2019s earned an 18-6 advantage in points in the paint so far.<\/p>\n JUNE 13 \/ 9:33 PM<\/p>\n The Brunson burner is lit<\/p>\n Jalen Brunson (16 pts on 6-for-11 shooting) has the last eight for the Knicks, willing them back into the contest.<\/p>\n 3 straight buckets by JALEN BRUNSON \ud83d\ude4c<\/p>\n He’s got 15\u2026 New York is on a 10\u20132 run on ABC! pic.twitter.com\/6cNZEFS9Ew<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 NBA (@NBA) June 14, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Spurs have stopped doubling Brunson as aggressively, staying home on shooters and freeing him up to go on the attack.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a welcome sight for the Knicks, who are still searching for offense.<\/p>\n 38-29 Spurs with 3:15 to go in the second quarter.<\/p>\n JUNE 13 \/ 9:26 PM<\/p>\n The Wembanyama effect<\/p>\n 31-18 Spurs with 7:41 to go in the second quarter.<\/p>\n The Knicks are shooting 6-for-27 (22.2%) from the field so far, and haven\u2019t scored in the paint \u2014 Wemby\u2019s closed off that completely.<\/p>\n SWAT THE THREE-POINT ATTEMPT.

The Knicks have gotten nothing easy tonight.<\/p>\n WEMBY: PROTECTING THE RIM EARLY.<\/p>\n 6 PTS and 3 BLK in 6 MIN on ABC! https:\/\/t.co\/VByDR2tkMh<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/tuTYoaLPAT<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 NBA (@NBA) June 14, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n JUNE 13 \/ 9:04 PM<\/p>\n Spurs\u2019 defense locks down<\/p>\n 18-8 Spurs with 2:30 to go in the first quarter, as they take a double-digit lead for the fifth straight game in this series.<\/p>\n The Knicks are shooting 2-for-19 (10.5%) from the field so far, struggling to find space against an aggressive Spurs defense.<\/p>\n They\u2019re fighting for their season tonight in San Antonio.<\/p>\n JUNE 13 \/ 8:54 PM<\/p>\n Trading threes<\/p>\n Dylan Harper (3 pts) and OG Anunoby (5 pts) knock down their first 3-point looks of the evening.<\/p>\n Harper\u2019s outside shot has been questioned, but he slowed down and emphasized his form on an above-the-break three, knocking it down.<\/p>\n On the other end, Anunoby responded with a corner 3-pointer over the outstretched arm of Victor Wembanyama, who made a lunging effort to block the shot.<\/p>\n OG\u2019s at 50.6% from 3-point range in this Playoffs \u2014 he\u2019s been lights-out.<\/p>\n 11-8 Spurs with 5:51 to go in the first quarter.<\/p>\n JUNE 13 \/ 8:51 PM<\/p>\n Wembanyama at work<\/p>\n Victor Wembanyama (2 pts, 2 reb, 3 blk) is rejecting everything to start tonight\u2019s contest, as the Knicks try to pick up a second foul on the superstar center.<\/p>\n The Finals record for blocks is 9, held by Dwight Howard (Game 4, 2009).<\/p>\n Keldon Johnson is on the floor for the first time \u2014 the Spurs could use a big game from the reigning Kia Sixth Man of the Year.<\/p>\n Spurs 6-5 with 7:49 to go in the first quarter.<\/p>\n JUNE 13 \/ 8:35 PM<\/p>\n The Knicks are ready to take the floor<\/p>\n Knicks huddle up for Game 5! \ud83d\udd12<\/p>\n NYK (3-1) SAS I 8:30pm\/et on ABC pic.twitter.com\/M3ypI8SN6i<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 NBA (@NBA) June 14, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n JUNE 13 \/ 8:30 PM<\/p>\n Wemby gets ready to defend home court<\/p>\n Wemby gets loose ahead of Game 5!<\/p>\n Wemby is averaging 27.8 PPG, 10.5 RPG & 3.3 BPG through 4 Games\u2026 Game 5 tips at 8:30pm\/et on ABC \ud83d\udd25 pic.twitter.com\/WDNMf5TXCb<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 NBA (@NBA) June 14, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n JUNE 13 \/ 7:30 PM<\/p>\n Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs host Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks tonight on ABC.<\/p>\n New York:<\/p>\n San Antonio:<\/p>\n The 1973 New York Knicks famously featured five future Naismith Hall of Famers \u2014 Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe, Bill Bradley, Dave DeBusschere and Willis Reed.<\/p>\n Their connectivity was legendary, featuring all-time ball movement under Red Holtzman. All five averaged in double figures during the regular season and the Playoffs, with Jerry Lucas clocking in just behind<\/a>, before they upset Wilt Chamberlain and the Los Angeles Lakers in Finals.<\/p>\n This Knicks team is reminiscent of those champions, who brought a title home to New York more than a half-century ago.<\/p>\n Their chemistry and love for one another is evident, and a constant theme at Media Days. Brunson and Towns are potential Hall-of-Famers, with Bridges and Anunoby having outside shots, and Josh Hart becoming a legendary glue guy. Their team balance is elite \u2014 Brunson\u2019s the head of the spear; Anunoby and Bridges take pressure off him; Towns and Hart hold it all together. They\u2019re more than the sum of their parts.<\/p>\n The 1990s Knicks are better remembered at this point, but these Knicks have a lot of the 70s in them. We\u2019ll see if there is championship glory in their future as well. They have their first chance at it tonight.<\/p>\n JUNE 13 \/ 7:15 PM<\/p>\n Saturday\u2019s injury report<\/p>\n Mitchell Robinson is available for the Knicks with a fractured fifth right metacarpal, while Luke Kornet is questionable for the Spurs with an illness.<\/p>\n JUNE 13 \/ 7:03 PM<\/p>\n Kon Knueppel is our Player Correspondent for Game 5<\/p>\n Follow along with the Hornets guard on the NBA App<\/a>.<\/p>\n Get ready with NBA Player Correspondent Kon Knueppel (featuring his dad, Kon Sr.)!<\/p>\n NYK (3-1) SAS Game 5: 8:30pm\/et on ABC \ud83c\udfc6 pic.twitter.com\/PQwdj6FL3t<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 NBA (@NBA) June 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n JUNE 13 \/ 6:55 PM<\/p>\n The Spurs ride in<\/p>\n That\u2019s a fire cowboy hat, Keldon Johnson.<\/p>\n Spurs arrive for Game 5 in San Antonio!<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfc6 Knicks (3-1) Spurs \u2014 NBA (@NBA) June 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n JUNE 13 \/ 6:42 PM<\/p>\n The Knicks in the spot<\/p>\n A classic NYC look for Big KAT tonight.<\/p>\n The Knicks arrive for Game 5 in San Antonio!<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfc6 Knicks (3-1) Spurs \u2014 NBA (@NBA) June 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n JUNE 13 \/ 6:31 PM<\/p>\n Big Body Brunson strides in<\/p>\n The Knicks\u2019 captain is here in all black, ready to attempt to put the Spurs\u2019 season to rest.<\/p>\n Jalen Brunson arrives for Game 5!<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfc6 Knicks (3-1) Spurs \u2014 NBA (@NBA) June 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n JUNE 13 \/ 6:09 PM<\/p>\n Wemby and Harper come walking in<\/p>\n The dynamic duo are both wearing black-and-white as they arrive to defend the home of the Spurs.<\/p>\n Wemby arrives for Game 5 in San Antonio!<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfc6 Knicks (3-1) Spurs \u2014 NBA (@NBA) June 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Dylan Harper in the building \u203c\ufe0f<\/p>\n NYK (3-1) SAS. \u2014 NBA (@NBA) June 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n JUNE 13 \/ 6:05 PM<\/p>\n Here come the New York Knicks<\/p>\n The Knicks have a chance to win their first title in 53 years tonight.

There are millions of people watching. It\u2019s easy to get wrapped up in human nature of wanting to get recognition, wanting to score the ball, wanting to show people what you can do on the biggest stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u2018That\u2019s not everyone\u2019s calling and not everyone\u2019s assignment. I know for me, that\u2019s not really my assignment. It takes a little bit of time to find that humility. For me, I found that with prayer and my faith.’\u201d<\/p>\n JUNE 13 \/ 11:15 AM<\/p>\n What the teams are saying OG Anunoby and the New York Knicks are coming off a historic 29-point comeback in Game 4.<\/p>\n Go inside Friday\u2019s media day<\/a>, as the Spurs and Knicks met with the press to discuss their reactions to OG Anunoby\u2019s game-winner<\/a>, the Knicks\u2019 historic comeback and their preparation for tonight\u2019s Game 5.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
