OUTCOME
CONFIRMED TRUEThe Spurs fell behind 0-2 in the 2026 NBA Finals after losing Games 1 and 2 at home to the New York Knicks (105-95 and 105-104). They did win Game 3 to make it 2-1, but the Knicks closed out the series 4-1, confirming the Spurs ultimately lost after going down 0-2. Stephen A. Smith's call that the series was effectively over at 0-2 proved correct.
