Spurs keep NBA Finals alive going into Game 4 - all you need to know

The 2026 NBA Finals are upon us, with the New York Knicks leading the San Antonio Spurs 2-1 in the seven-game series to be crowned kings of basketball. Here's all you need to know about the Finals so far and what's still to come...

All three of the games played so far have been won by the visiting team, with the Spurs dropping the first two on their home court to fall into a 2-0 hole.

No team in league history has lost the first two games of the Finals at home and gone on to win the title, but San Antonio have made that a possibility with a 115-111 victory in New York in Game 3 on Monday night .

Victor Wembanyama, who missed a shot at the end of Game 2 that would have beaten the Knicks , bounced back in some style from that disappointment with 32 points, eight rebounds and six assists at Madison Square Garden.

The 22-year-old big man from France, who is quickly becoming the face of the league, also led the team with 26 points in the series opener and had a Game 2-high 29 points.

The Knicks - looking to end their 53-year championship drought - will hope for an improved showing at home when they host Game 4 on Wednesday night before the series then alternates between San Antonio and New York for the final three games.

The Spurs and Knicks are meeting in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, when San Antonio claimed their first-ever title with a 4-1 series victory.

That triumph sparked a golden era, leading to five championships in total and culminating in their last Finals appearance and victory in 2014.
