The San Antonio Spurs and New York Knicks will face off in the third-ever NBA Cup championship game later this week after both teams advanced through the semifinal round on Saturday night.

Toronto looks to stop its four-game skid with a win against Miami.

The first matchup is between the two Eastern Conference semifinalists, the New York Knicks and Orlando Magic.

One of the greatest things about attending NBA games is the intensity of the home crowds, who live and die with every basket, especially in the final moments as the game can be decided with one clutch basket or a key defensive play.

There will be no NBA Cup this season for the reigning NBA champions, whose 16-game winning streak ended in a 111-109 loss to San Antonio in the tournament semifinals Saturday night.

The biggest key to the matchup is Wembanyama’s expected return, which theoretically boosts the Spurs’ surging stock.
