Knicks Rally Past Spurs for First NBA Cup Title Since 1973




The New York Knicks erased a double-digit deficit to defeat the San Antonio Spurs 124-113 in the Emirates NBA Cup final Tuesday in Las Vegas, dominating the fourth quarter 35-19 behind OG Anunoby's 28 points. Jalen Brunson added crucial scores in the rally and took tournament MVP, while the team outrebounded San Antonio 67-56. Spurs' Victor Wembanyama scored 18 points despite learning that morning of his grandmother's passing in France, earning praise for his resilience. Critics like Chris Russo called the event overblown, but the win brought joy to Knicks fans hungry for hardware.
