New York has to wait a bit longer to find out its Eastern Conference finals opponent. But in the Western Conference, the final is set — and it'll be the teams that finished with the two best records in the NBA this season.
Oklahoma City and San Antonio will play for the West title, their series beginning Monday on the Thunder's home floor.
Meanwhile, Detroit and Cleveland are headed to a Game 7 on Sunday for the right to play the Knicks for the East crown.
Also Sunday: The NBA's Most Valuable Player will be announced shortly after 7:30 p.m. EDT.
— Game 7, Cleveland at Detroit, 8 p.m. EDT (Prime)
Cleveland has won five consecutive Game 7s, including two on the road. Detroit is 6-1 in its last seven Game 7s. Both teams won a Game 7 in Round 1 and the winner will be the 20th team in NBA history to prevail in multiple Game 7s in the same postseason.

The Spurs went 4-1 against the Thunder (the teams played five times because of the NBA Cup) during the regular season. If the series goes the full seven games, it'll mark only the second instance in the last 30 years of two teams meeting 12 times in the same season (Golden State and Houston did it last season).
— Pistons 115, Cavaliers 94 to tie series 3-3.
— Spurs 139, Timberwolves 109 to win series 4-2.
