The 2026 finals have been decided by an average of 4 points in its first 4 games, which is the 2nd closest start to a finals since the merger. This is behind 2011 (3.75 Δavg at 2-2), and is also tied with 1973, the last time the Knicks won a championship
Is this a positive omen for the Knicks to repeat history, or an indicator that a Spurs comeback is more likely than the series score may suggest? Who knows! But I hope this series is still remembered for being incredible even if it ends 4-1.
