The Knicks have advanced to the NBA Finals.With a dominant 130–93 victory over the Cavaliers on Monday night, New York finished off a four-game sweep in the Eastern Conference finals and now is just four wins away from its first NBA championship since 1973.

The Knicks will take on the winner of the Western Conference finals between the No. 1 seed Thunder and No. 2 seed Spurs, who are locked in a 2–2 tie in the best-of-seven series.Although their opponent is not yet known, home-court advantage is already decided. The team with the better record in the regular season earns home-court advantage in the NBA Finals. That means the Knicks (53–29) will be hitting the road for Game 1 and will not have home-court advantage, as the Thunder (64–18) and Spurs (62–20) both finished with a better regular-season record. The Knicks will have eight full days of rest before taking the court again June 3 for Game 1.Here’s a rundown of the 2026 NBA Finals schedule:Game 1Date: Wednesday, June 3Time: 8:30 p.m. ETLocation: Paycom Center (Oklahoma City) OR Frost Bank Center (San Antonio)TV: ABCGame 2Date: Friday, June 5Time: 8:30 p.m. ETLocation: Paycom Center (Oklahoma City) OR Frost Bank Center (San Antonio)TV: ABCGame 3Date: Monday, June 8Time: 8:30 p.m. ETLocation: Madison Square Garden (New York City)TV: ABCGame 4Date: Wednesday, June 10Time: 8:30 p.m. ETLocation: Madison Square Garden (New York City)TV: ABCGame 5 (if necessary)Date: Saturday, June 13Time: 8:30 p.m. ETLocation: Paycom Center (Oklahoma City) OR Frost Bank Center (San Antonio)TV: ABCGame 6 (if necessary) Date: Tuesday, June 16Time: 8:30 p.m. ETLocation: Madison Square Garden (New York City)TV: ABCGame 7 (if necessary) Date: Friday, June 19Time: 8:30 p.m. ETLocation: Paycom Center (Oklahoma City) OR Frost Bank Center (San Antonio)TV: ABCMore NBA from Sports IllustratedAdd us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
