NBA Playoff Bracket 2026, Updated Picture, Schedule After Knicks Eliminate Cavs

The New York Knicks completed their Eastern Conference Finals sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night.

New York won 130-93 to earn its third series-clinching victory of 30 or more points this postseason.

The Knicks are headed to the NBA Finals on the back of two sweeps and 11 straight postseason wins.

New York will await the winner of the Western Conference Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2026 NBA Finals.

Upcoming NBA Playoffs Schedule

Game 5: San Antonio at Oklahoma City (Tuesday, 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC)

Game 6: Oklahoma City at San Antonio (Thursday, 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC)

Game 7 (if necessary): San Antonio at Oklahoma City (8 p.m. ET, NBC)

June 3: NBA Finals Game 1

The Knicks steamrolled the Cavaliers in Monday's Game 4.

Four of New York's starters reached double figures. The advantage was so lopsided that Jalen Brunson didn't step foot on the hardwood in the fourth quarter.

New York held Cleveland to 42 percent from the field and 28 percent from three-point range in the victory.

The Knicks won all four games of the Eastern Conference Finals by double digits, including the Game 1 overtime triumph that shifted the balance of the series.

New York's come-from-behind Game 1 win demoralized the Cavs and it set the tone for the rest of the series. The Knicks held the Cavs under 100 points in Games 2 and 4.

Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and Co. will wait at least three days to find out their NBA Finals opponent.

San Antonio and Oklahoma City are locked at two games apiece in the Western Conference Finals.

The Knicks will have over a week off, no matter who the opponent is, because the NBA Finals is locked in to a June 3 start date.
