It’s down to three.

The New York Knicks became the Eastern Conference champions on Monday night, setting up their first trip to the NBA Finals since 1999. Now that the celebration has died down, all eyes turn out west. 

The San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder will go head-to-head this week to see who will face off against the Knicks.

There’s a lot at stake, no matter who makes it to the Finals. If the Knicks win, they’d bring home the Larry O'Brien Trophy for the first time since 1973. If the Thunder wins, it’ll be their second consecutive win in two years. And if the Spurs take it, it’ll be another feather in their cap, having won five times since 1999.

Unfortunately, you can’t just catch the games on one streaming platform. NBA League Pass won’t show the games live, so here are the networks you’ll need to tune in to so you can catch the finale of the NBA playoffs.
