Today is Game 5 of the 2026 NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs. New York leads the series 3-1 and the series heads back to San Antonio. Watch it at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC (WJLA-TV in the DMV). Yes, I know I posted this in the morning.
In this week’s SB Nation Reacts survey, you can definitely see that a clear majority of NBA fans nationwide who responded that they are following the NBA Finals more than the draft. But as Washington Wizards fans, we are definitely in that 26 percent minority. Same with Utah Jazz fans.
While we are in the minority, that doesn’t mean that we don’t care about the Finals. There will be a lot of money changing hands during the game. The odds are in favor of the Spurs extending this series to a Game 6 per FanDuel* and others.
Anyway, enjoy the game tonight!
