Pacers Race To Victory, Spurs Stunned Early

Joe's Pacers ride a monster 16-3 playoff run — the deepest bracket of the season — all the way to a second straight championship, with Kristaps Porzingis claiming back-to-back Finals MVP honors. Phillip's Spurs post a strong 12-2 regular season behind an Evan Mobley MVP campaign and a breakout year from Jarrett Duren, but a shocking 1st-round exit ends things early. 2k26 championships now tilt Joe's way, 2-1.
