>It's officially crunch time in the NBA Finals with the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs returning to Frost Bank Center for Game 5 on Saturday night.

>After a thrilling Game 4 where New York erased a 29-point deficit — the largest in NBA Finals history — to win on O.G. Anunoby's last second tip-in, the Knicks are one win away from their first championship in 53 years. The Knicks pulled off the impossible in Game 4 behind Anunoby's 33 and Jalen Brunson's 36, and with one more win will deliver a title to a city starved for a championship.

>But, the series is far from over, with the home team Spurs fully having the capacity to win three games in a row. This will be the toughest test yet for Mitch Johnson's young team; it's up to Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper and co. to get their first finals win at home and send the series back to New York.

>So, what will happen on Saturday night: will the Knicks win the 2025-26 NBA title or will the Spurs live to see another day?

>Follow along right here for the latest updates and highlights from Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
