西部联盟

(2) 圣安东尼奥马刺 4-3 淘汰 (1) 俄克拉荷马雷霆

马刺晋级的最大启示： 维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 让未来提前到来。

仅仅在他的第三个NBA赛季，他便率队在分区决赛中逆转淘汰了拿到64胜的卫冕冠军，在自己度过22岁生日仅五个月后，就成功挺进NBA总决赛。

马刺队之所以能赢下这轮系列赛，得益于他在第一场比赛中的英雄史诗级表现——那是一场砍下41分和24个篮板的杰作，其中包括一记标志性的28英尺远投三分将比赛拖入加时——以及全队在第六场和第七场中展现出的统治力。文班亚马是这支成长速度惊人的年轻核心阵容的领军人物，他们刚刚摧毁了许多人眼中正在崛起的“雷霆王朝”，这无疑将引发人们的讨论：圣安东尼奥是否即将开启属于他们自己的新王朝。

20岁的菜鸟后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 在第一场和第六场比赛中表现极其出色，并在第七场决战的最后时刻贡献了几次关键战术。进入职业生涯第三年的后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 在今年季后赛中完成了华丽蜕变，展现出了明星相。还有文班亚马，他在自己的第三个赛季中在MVP投票中名列第三，并毫不掩饰自己未能获奖的失望之情，随后他在这场堪称近十年来NBA最精彩的季后赛系列赛中，亲手击败了蝉联MVP的谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander)。—— 安东尼·斯莱特 (Anthony Slater)

雷霆出局的最大启示： 去年夏天，雷霆队在夺冠游行前几天与他们的三位当家球星签下了顶薪续约合同，锁定了潜在王朝的基石。然而，在被马刺队淘汰后，雷霆队将迎来一个充满不确定性的夏天。而他们的这个宿敌，拥有一组更年轻、且至少在这轮系列赛中表现更出色的三巨头。

蝉联MVP的吉尔杰斯-亚历山大在第七场比赛中走出了自晋升超级巨星以来最糟糕的投篮低谷，凭借35分和9次助攻的表现，为伤兵满营的雷霆队保留了一线生机。然而，他没有得到俄克拉荷马城其他球星的任何支持。

就像在他这个备受折磨的伤病赛季中屡屡发生的那样，杰伦·威廉姆斯 (Jalen Williams) 只能身穿便服坐在替补席上观战。在第二场比赛初期左大腿后侧肌群拉伤加重后，他在该系列赛的最后五场比赛中仅出场了10分钟，且毫无建树。

切特·霍姆格伦 (Chet Holmgren) 出场了33分钟，但在大部分时间里他都毫无存在感。他全场仅出手两次，最终只得到4分和4个篮板。在经历了前两轮的优异表现后，他在本轮系列赛的大部分时间里都未能发挥作用。

现在的悬念是：雷霆队老板克莱·贝内特 (Clay Bennett) 愿意花多少钱来留住这支球队？卢根茨·多尔特 (Luguentz Dort)、以赛亚·哈尔滕施泰因 (Isaiah Hartenstein) 和肯里奇·威廉姆斯 (Kenrich Williams) 在下个赛季都拥有球队选项，而届时球队将面临巨额的奢侈税账单。—— 蒂姆·麦克马洪 (Tim MacMahon)

东部联盟

(3) 纽约尼克斯 4-0 淘汰 (4) 克利夫兰骑士

第四场最大启示： 多诺万·米切尔 (Donovan Mitchell) 在第三场比赛后曾哀叹，骑士队在系列赛首战中痛失22分的领先优势，这彻底改变了东部决赛的走势。骑士队再也未能从那次崩盘中恢复过来，他们的赛季最终以连续四场两位数的分差惨败而告终，其中包括第四场遭到的一场痛击。

事实上，克利夫兰在周一的比赛开局不错，包揽了前5分，并取得了8-2的领先。米切尔倾其所有试图延续骑士队的赛季，在首节就砍下了他全场31分中的12分，埃文·莫布利 (Evan Mobley) 也挺身而出成为他的得力助手。然而，尼克斯队的攻势排山倒海，骑士队根本无法阻挡纽约的铁蹄。到了第二节中段，比赛局势便彻底失控。

也许骑士队在前两轮历经两场抢七大战的残酷洗礼后已经筋疲力尽，而且在过去的三个半星期里，他们没有获得过连续两天的休息时间。但不可否认的是，骑士队在面对一支天赋更胜一筹的球队时显得力不从心。对于这支急于摆脱季后赛折戟阴霾、寻求突破的球队来说，这个夏天将充满疑问。—— 贾马尔·科利尔 (Jamal Collier)

尼克斯闯入总决赛，向历史发起冲击

在今年季后赛中，尼克斯队曾三次获得在客场淘汰对手的机会，而这三次他们都将对手彻底击溃，以至于比赛在第四节开始前很久就已经失去了悬念。

自4月23日那个夜晚以来，一切都发生了翻天覆地的变化。当时，尼克斯队在首轮以1-2落后于亚特兰大老鹰队。尼克斯曾连续两场以1分之差惜败，其中包括第二场比赛的崩盘，这让整个纽约市都紧绷神经，担心尼克斯是否又会以某种方式让那些死忠球迷大失所望。

绝对没有任何人，哪怕是最狂热的尼克斯支持者，能预料到随后发生的那场如梦如幻般的狂欢。

连续30天未尝败绩。在周一美国阵亡将士纪念日于克利夫兰赢球后，他们已经豪取11连胜，期间净胜分达到了惊人的+262分——这是NBA整整80个赛季的历史中（无论是常规赛还是季后赛），任意连续11场比赛区间的最大净胜分差。

凭借这一壮举，尼克斯队自1999年以来首次重返NBA总决赛。在接下来的八天里，大苹果城的拥趸们将尽情憧憬：今年或许终将是终结球队长达53年冠军荒的终极时刻。

无论面对吉尔杰斯-亚历山大还是文班亚马，以及他们身后阵容深度极佳的青年军，如何限制他们都将是纽约面临的最大考验。但尼克斯队完全有理由认为，他们在过去一个月里的表现，不逊于联盟历史上任何时期的任何球队。

尼克斯队拥有一群攻防兼备的侧翼悍将：OG·阿奴诺比 (OG Anunoby)、米卡尔·布里奇斯 (Mikal Bridges) 和乔什·哈特 (Josh Hart)。他们拥有卡尔-安东尼·唐斯 (Karl-Anthony Towns) 和米切尔·罗宾逊 (Mitchell Robinson) 这样货真价实的七尺长人，能为球队提供多样化的进攻手段。替补席上，他们还坐拥兰德里·沙梅特 (Landry Shamet) 和杜斯·麦克布莱德 (Deuce McBride) 这样优质的“3D”拼图。

当然，他们还有杰伦·布伦森 (Jalen Brunson)，他四年前作为自由球员的加盟，彻底改变了这支球队的命运。

这支球队乐于分享球权，人才储备深厚，并由一位防守强硬、作风顽强的平民超级巨星领衔——这让人不禁联想到20世纪90年代由帕特里克·尤因 (Patrick Ewing)、约翰·斯塔克斯 (John Starks)、阿兰·休斯顿 (Allan Houston) 和拉里·约翰逊 (Larry Johnson) 领衔的那支尼克斯队，以及1970年和1973年那两支在NBA历史上享有盛誉的夺冠之师。

登顶之路上最艰难的险峰还在后头。无论是跨越俄克拉荷马雷霆还是圣安东尼奥马刺，都绝非易事。当总决赛打响时，无论面对哪支球队，纽约都将处于下风。

但别把这些告诉尼克斯队或他们的球迷。在接下来的八天里，他们可以舒舒服服地坐下来，好好休息，并尽情享受这段历史性的征程。

既然势头如此强劲，他们又有什么理由在此时停止梦想呢？—— 蒂姆·邦坦普斯 (Tim Bontemps)

2026 NBA playoffs: Conference finals takeaways

The conference finals of the 2026 NBA playoffs are here, and our NBA insiders have you covered for every game of the Eastern and Western matchups.

The No. 3-seeded New York Knicks defeated the fourth-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in a four-game sweep to advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999.

In the West, the San Antonio Spurs ousted the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder in seven games in a matchup of the top two seeds.

Here’s what matters most in both conferences and what to watch in the series.

Western Conference

(2) San Antonio Spurs eliminate (1) Oklahoma City Thunder 4-3

Biggest takeaway from the Spurs’ win: Victor Wembanyama has sped up the clock.

In only his third NBA season, he just led a come-from-behind conference finals elimination of the 64-win defending champs, advancing to the NBA Finals five months after his 22nd birthday.

The Spurs won this series because of his Game 1 heroics – a 41-point, 24-rebound masterpiece complete with a 28-foot signature 3 to force overtime – and a collective Game 6 and 7 closing statement. Wembanyama is the face of a stunningly advanced young core that just disrupted what many believed was an Oklahoma City Thunder dynasty in the making, which is sure to spark conversation about whether San Antonio is about to begin one of its own.

Dylan Harper, the 20-year-old rookie guard, was excellent in Games 1 and 6 and made some massive plays late in Game 7. Stephon Castle, the third-year guard, has taken a star turn in these playoffs. Then there’s Wembanyama, who finished third in MVP voting in his third season, let the world know of his displeasure that he didn’t win the award and then just outdueled Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the back-to-back MVP, in what might have been the NBA’s best playoff series this decade.-- Anthony Slater

Biggest takeaway from the Thunder’s loss: The Thunder signed their three stars to maximum contract extensions days before their championship parade last summer, securing the foundation of a potential dynasty. Now, the Thunder enter a summer of uncertainty after being eliminated by the Spurs, a rival with a younger and, in this series at least, better star trio.

Back-to-back MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander broke out of his worst shooting funk since emerging as a superstar in Game 7, giving the injury-depleted Thunder a chance with his 35 points and nine assists. He got no help from Oklahoma City’s other stars.

As was the case far too often during his injury-marred season, Jalen Williams watched from the bench in street clothes. He played only 10 ineffective minutes in the final five games of the series after aggravating a left hamstring strain early in Game 2.

Chet Holmgren played 33 minutes, but he was invisible for most of them. He attempted only two shots from the floor, finishing with four points and four rebounds. He wasn’t a factor for most of the series after excelling in the first two rounds.

The question now: How much is Oklahoma City governor Clay Bennett willing to pay to keep together this team? Luguentz Dort, Isaiah Hartenstein and Kenrich Williams all have team options for next season, when a massive luxury tax bill looms. – Tim MacMahon

Eastern Conference

(3) New York Knicks eliminate (4) Cleveland Cavaliers 4-0

Biggest takeaways from Game 4: Donovan Mitchell lamented after Game 3 that the Cavaliers blew a 22-point lead in the first game of the series and it had changed the tenor of the Eastern Conference finals. The Cavs never recovered from that collapse, and their season ended with four straight double-digit defeats, including a thumping in Game 4.

Cleveland actually began Monday’s game by scoring the first five points and jumping out to an 8-2 lead. Mitchell tried to do all he could to extend the Cavs’ season, scoring 12 of his 31 points in the first quarter, and Evan Mobley showed up as his running mate. But the Knicks’ offense was relentless, and the Cavs couldn’t do anything to slow down New York. By the middle of the second quarter, the game started to get out of hand.

Perhaps the Cavs were fatigued from a grueling gauntlet across the first two rounds – each a seven-game series – and without consecutive rest days for the final 3½ weeks. But the Cavs also were overmatched by a more talented team. This summer will be full of questions for an organization searching for a way to get over the hump of playoff disappointments. – Jamal Collier

The Knicks chase history with NBA Finals berth

Three times in these playoffs the Knicks have had a chance to close out their opponent on the road, and three times they have completely eviscerated the opposition so that the game was over long before the fourth quarter even started.

So much has changed since the night of April 23, when the Knicks fell behind 2-1 to the Atlanta Hawks in the first round. The Knicks lost back-to-back games by a single point, including a collapse in Game 2 that had New York City on edge, wondering if the Knicks were going to find a way to disappoint their die-hard fans again.

Absolutely no one, not even the most ardent Knicks supporter, could have anticipated the fever dream that followed.

Thirty consecutive days without a loss. Eleven straight victories after Monday night’s Memorial Day win in Cleveland, with a point differential of plus-262 – the biggest differential over an 11-game span across any portion of the NBA’s 80 seasons, regular season or playoffs.

As a result, the Knicks find themselves back in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999 – and the partisans in the Big Apple will spend the next eight days dreaming that this could finally be the year the franchise’s 53-year championship drought comes to an end.

The challenge of slowing down either Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Victor Wembanyama and their talented depth will easily be New York’s toughest test. But the Knicks can argue they are playing as well as any team in the history of the league over the past month.

The Knicks have a collection of two-way wings in OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart. They have legitimate 7-footers who give them different ways to attack the opposition in Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson. They have quality 3-and-D options off the bench in Landry Shamet and Deuce McBride.

And, of course, they have Jalen Brunson, whose arrival as a free agent four years ago changed the course of the franchise.

This team shares the ball, has a depth of talent and is being led by an underdog superstar who defends and scraps – paralleling the Knicks teams of the 1990s led by Patrick Ewing, John Starks, Allan Houston and Larry Johnson, and the championship teams of 1970 and 1973 that were among the most celebrated groups in NBA history.

The hardest part of the climb is still ahead. Getting past either the Oklahoma City Thunder or the San Antonio Spurs is far from a certainty, as New York will be the underdog against either team when the Finals start.

But don’t tell that to the Knicks, or their fans. For the next eight days, they’ll be able to sit back, rest and revel in a historic run.

And with how things are going, why should they stop dreaming now? – Tim Bontemps
