Fortunately for New York fans, the alleged Trump curse was lifted for Game 4 of the NBA Finals, and the Knicks took a 3-1 series lead over the San Antonio Spurs after a historic comeback. I'm not even a basketball fan, and I thought the game was pretty dang electric. The teams will now head back to San Antonio for Game 5.
The Spurs are desperate for a win to stay in, but the Knicks could take it all this weekend for the first time in over 50 years. Even if you're not a huge fan of either team, Game 5 is sure to be epic. Here's everything you need to know to watch the action unfold live.
When is Game 5 of the NBA Finals?
Game 5 of the NBA Finals will take place Saturday, June 13, in San Antonio at Frost Bank Center, with tip-off scheduled at 8:30 p.m. ET.
