Leading scorers: Tim Duncan (SAS, 27.4), Latrell Sprewell (NYK, 26.0), Allan Houston (NYK, 21.6), David Robinson (SAS, 16.6), Mario Elie (SAS, 11.6).

27 years later they meet up again, with the Knicks going to the finals for the 1st time since then looking for their 1st title in 53 years. The Spurs are going to the finals for the 1st time without Tim Duncan and Gregg Popovich, as they're looking to bring it home for a 6th time and the 1st in 12 years.

Last meeting: 2016 WCSF - OKC won 4-2

Leading scorers: Kevin Durant (OKC, 28.5), LaMarcus Aldridge (SAS, 26.8), Russell Westbrook (OKC, 25.2), Kawhi Leonard (SAS, 23.2), Steven Adams & Serge Ibaka (OKC, 11.0).

The Thunder would go on to the WCF against the 73-9 Warriors, where they'd evaporate after taking a 3-1 lead to lose in 7 games - which led to Kevin Durant joining GSW.

10 years later, the two teams meet again with incredible young cores, in what could be the series that decides the championship.
