OUTCOME
CONFIRMED FALSEThe New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the 2026 NBA Finals, winning their first championship since 1973. San Antonio did not win the Finals, and the series lasted only 5 games — not 6 or 7 as Cowherd predicted. Additionally, Wembanyama and the Spurs famously blew late leads in every game, with the Knicks rallying from double-digit deficits in all four of their wins.
