After the defending champion Thunder were eliminated, rumors have been swirling about potential major trades. Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams are at the center of trade rumors; neither is considered untouchable, and Thunder GM Presti is fully likely to evaluate trade options for them in the offseason.

NBA reporter Mike Vorkunov reported that an arbitrator has ruled that the vast majority of former Heat guard Terry Rozier's originally scheduled $26.6 million salary for the 2025-26 season will be legally deducted. In late October last year, six days after Rozier was arrested on federal gambling-related charges, the NBA handed him an unpaid suspension.

The NBA Finals Game 1 kicked off, with the Knicks defeating the Spurs 105-95 on the road, taking a 1-0 series lead. Wembanyama contributed 26 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 blocks, but shot only 6-of-21 from the field and 2-of-9 from three-point range, while also committing 6 turnovers. After the game, he spoke with the media — Reporter: Throughout this playoff series, what makes Jalen Brunson so tough to guard? What led to him scoring 30 points tonight?

In Game 1 of the Finals, the Knicks defeated the Spurs 105-95 on the road, overcoming a 14-point deficit to extend their playoff winning streak to 12 games. This 12-game run ties the second-longest single-season playoff winning streak in NBA history, matching the 1999 Spurs' 12 consecutive playoff wins; back then, the Spurs' final two wins came in Games 1 and 2 of the Finals, with the opponent being—coincidentally—the Knicks.

In the first game of the Finals, the Spurs lost to the Knicks. Before today, the Spurs had never lost the opening game in six Finals appearances, but today they ran into Brunson. When Brunson hit that unbelievable game-winning mid-range shot with 37 seconds left, all I could think was how could anyone be this tough.

After 27 years, the NBA Finals once again feature a classic matchup between the Spurs and the Knicks. In Game 1, the Knicks overturned a deficit on the road to beat the Spurs 105-95, taking an early lead in the series. The game was full of twists and turns, with fast-paced offense and defense switching quickly, embodying the intensity of a Finals showdown.
