Knicks Notes: Brunson, Brown, Kolek, NBA Cup Finals

December 14th, 2025 at 7:01pm CST by Eli Cohen

In a league that is increasingly looking for ball-handlers who are 6’6″ or taller, Jalen Brunson‘s scoring mastery makes him something of a modern-day unicorn for the Knicks, writes James L. Edwards III of The Athletic (subscriber link).

“He’s got good pace, and he’s really smart. He doesn’t really get too bored with the game,” said Magic guard Jalen Suggs. “He doesn’t get too bored keeping it simple. He challenges you every possession. He’s one of the best players in our league. I love the fact that we get to play him four times a year. I’ve gotten better from our battles.”

Edwards writes that only seven players currently average more points than Brunson, and of those seven, only two do so at a similar height: Donovan Mitchell and Tyrese Maxey, both of whom possess athletic gifts that Brunson cannot replicate. That’s why Edwards calls Brunson pound-for-pound the best scorer in the NBA.

Despite his dominant play, questions have followed him for several years about whether someone his size can lead a team to a championship, but he’s begun to win some believers, writes Stefan Bondy of the New York Post.

“No one thought that a team shooting a lot of threes could win a title until Golden State did it,” said Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade. “Charles [Barkley] is always talking about, ‘You can’t win shooting threes.’ So obviously anything is possible. Is it hard? Yes. It’s really, really hard. So that just means for Jalen to be as great as he needs to be, that means everybody else around him needs to get better. … But it is yet to be seen. We’ve got to see it, too.”

We have more from the Knicks:

The Knicks of this season have proven more resilient than in previous seasons, and much of that is due to new head coach Mike Brown, writes Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News. Brown’s insistence on playing with pace has made the team’s offense less predictable, and his emphasis on hitting first in terms of physicality has made the team’s defense less toothless than last season. “I think our physicality is extremely better,” Josh Hart said. “When you’re able to be physical on the perimeter, you’re able to throw teams off what they do and now your defense is more impactful. You can be in passing lanes and do those kinds of things, protect shots at the rim. So I think our physicality is something that’s driving that, and that’s something we have to do.” Winfield notes that between those changes and getting Karl-Anthony Towns to play his best on defense, Brown may be laying the groundwork for a third Coach of the Year campaign.
The ankle injury to Miles McBride has allowed Tyler Kolek an opportunity to prove that he can be the backup point guard the Knicks need, and Saturday’s win against the Magic was a step in the right direction, Bondy and Jared Schwartz write for the New York Post. He was a team-best plus-17 in his minutes and was in for a key part of the game at the end of the third quarter and the start of the fourth, when the Knicks took control. “Tyler did a fantastic job today, our young fella, of impacting winning,” Towns said. “He did that on a big stage tonight. I think one of his finest games as an NBA player was tonight, and may not show up on the stats sheet, but everybody in our locker room knows how important he was to us tonight.”
The Knicks are trying to prove that they belong among the NBA’s true contenders, and Tuesday’s matchup against the Spurs in the NBA Cup Finals will be a key battleground for them to do so, writes Steve Popper for Newsday. The Spurs knocked off the league-best Thunder in their Semi-Final matchup and have managed to hold onto the fourth-best record in the Western Conference despite having a core group of players that skew very young. Popper writes that a disappointing performance could give the Knicks an indication heading into trade season that some adjustments to the roster might be needed to secure a spot in the top echelon.

Magic Notes: Banchero, M. Wagner, NBA Cup Semifinal, Lessons

December 14th, 2025 at 5:01pm CST by Eli Cohen

Paolo Banchero has not played up to his usual standards for the Magic in the four games since his return from a left groin strain, but he’s encouraged by his game-by-game progress, according to the Orlando Sentinel’s Jason Beede (Twitter video link).

“I’m feeling good. I’m feeling better every game. Not really thinking as much in terms of like thinking about the injury.” Banchero said. “… I’ve been feeling better and better every game. Hopefully, I can continue to find my spots out there and continue to play within the team.”

The 2024 All-Star has averaged 17.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per night since returning to play, well below his career rates of 22.2 PPG and 7.1 RPG. He was quiet in the first half of the team’s NBA Cup semifinal loss to the Knicks, but was able to turn things around in the second half and finished the game with 25 points and eight rebounds.

“I think I started a little slow. Started to get involved more as the game went on,” Banchero said. “But 0-for-7 from three, obviously, I’m not happy about that. I feel like I got to the rim pretty well. I want to get to the line a little more. [A] little loose with the ball at times.”

We have more from the Magic:

Moritz Wagner has been working diligently in his rehab from the ACL he tore one year ago, but his return will have to wait at least a little longer. According to Josh Robbins of The Athletic, Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley has ruled out Wagner for the team’s upcoming four-game road trip (Twitter link). The veteran center recently expressed optimism that he would be making his return sooner rather than later.
Mosley appreciated his team’s fight in the NBA Cup, Beede writes. “We fought. We battled,” Mosley said. “That’s what this team is going to continue to do… We missed a couple timely shots, a couple rebounds here and there for second-chance opportunities. Again, those are the details of the game we’re going to have to continue to look at. Give New York a ton of credit for how they came out and played as well.” The Magic were able to outscore the Knicks on second-chance points in Saturday’s NBA Cup semifinal, Beede notes, but converted those looks less efficiently, leaving potential points on the board. Meanwhile, the Knicks were able to score at will more often than a defensive-minded team like Orlando would prefer. “They were too comfortable,” Desmond Bane said. “We had a stretch there in the third quarter where I felt like we picked up our defensive intensity and were able to get into the ball and make it uncomfortable for them. But most of the night, just about everybody on the team was getting to the spots that they wanted to get to with little resistance from us.”
The Magic are using the loss to the Knicks as a learning experience to better prepare themselves for important games later in the season and in the postseason, Robbins writes. “I definitely think it’s motivating,” Banchero said. “I’m sure everybody wishes we played better on a stage like this against a good team that we could see later on in the season. [This] just shows us what we need to work on and how we can be better later on for the springtime.” Robbins points to both the Pacers and Thunder losing in the NBA Cup knockout round and using the experience as a launching pad for deep playoff runs. “We need these moments,” Bane said. “We need these games where we’re playing in meaningful games and have to go through some adversity. I think it will help prepare us for our next challenges.”

Heat Notes: Losing Streak, Threes, Herro, Wiggins, Jovic

December 14th, 2025 at 4:01pm CST by Rory Maher

The Heat were grateful to have an extended break after losing their fourth straight game on Tuesday, writes Ira Winderman of The South Florida Sun Sentinel. Miami has spent the past three days practicing after taking a couple of rest days in the middle of the week.

“Look, we don’t like losing,” head coach Erik Spoelstra said. “We have a very competitive group in the locker room. We’re just focused on getting better, not getting caught up in all the panic and narratives that potentially can be out there, just have to rally around each other.

“Look, it’s a competitive league. There’s so much parity right now. You have to play well and then you have to find different ways to win games. There’s going to be a lot of teams that are going through what we’re going through right now. You can’t panic for all the noise. You just have to focus on, ‘How do we get better?’”

As Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald notes, the Heat had gotten pretty lucky during their 14-7 start to the season, as opponents were converting three-pointers at a much worse rate than expected, while the Heat were one of the top outside shooting teams in the league. Both of those trends have reversed during their recent stretch of poor play.

“They’re doing a great job of scouting how we play our offense,” guard Norman Powell said. “They’re up higher. They’re two, three steps up above the three. They’re denying passing lanes. They’re trying to make us play one in the half court and then two inside the line.

“So we’ve just got to be better collectively, really working the offense like we were at the beginning of the season. We’re all on everybody’s scouting report in how we want to play, the pace, and trying to slow us down. So individually, we can all be better in how we navigate the offense, attack, kickouts, not taking so many tough two-pointers once we get into the paint.”

Here’s more on the Heat:

Spoelstra strongly pushed back on the notion that having Tyler Herro back has disrupted the team’s offensive rhythm, according to Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald. “It’s just a total overreaction that’s misguided. We need Tyler,” Spoelstra said Friday. “And it will be a little bit of a process working him back into the mix. But to get where we need to go, we need Tyler’s skill and talent. We need our guys healthy, and that’s what we’re working on right now. We can be very dangerous when we get guys on the same page, committing to our identity, and Tyler’s a big part of that.” The Heat are just 3-3 when Herro plays, but they’ve been better when he’s on the court than when he’s off, Chiang observes, and the 25-year-old guard is once again putting up big offensive numbers.
While he admits there are pros and cons to the role, veteran wing Andrew Wiggins has grown accustomed to spending most of his time as a small-ball power forward, per Winderman. “It hasn’t been weighing on me at all. I’ve been feeling pretty comfortable,” he said. “It was more so newer at the beginning of the year. But, like I said, I feel comfortable now and I feel like I’m doing a solid job being the power forward. I mean, it has its advantages and disadvantages.”
Spoelstra says fourth-year forward Nikola Jovic will have an opportunity to play rotation minutes again at some point, Winderman adds, though when exactly that will take place is still up in the air. “He just has to stay with it,” Spoelstra said. “And each day is an opportunity for him to get better and to make an impression. That’s good that he has practice days, to show us. But he’s been working behind the scenes and he’ll get his opportunity again.”

Kristaps Porzingis Out At Least Two Weeks Due To Illness

December 14th, 2025 at 2:56pm CST by Rory Maher

Hawks center Kristaps Porzingis will miss at least two weeks as he undergoes additional evaluations due to an illness, sources tell Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link).

According to Charania, both Atlanta and Porzingis are taking a big-picture view of the Latvian big man’s health in the hope of having him more available later in the season.

The Hawks have confirmed the news in a press release (Twitter link). According to the team, Porzingis will only participate in limited basketball activities over the next two weeks, after which time his status will be updated.

Porzingis, who is earning $30.7MM in 2025/26 and will be an unrestricted free agent next summer if he doesn’t sign an extension before then, will miss his third consecutive game on Sunday against Philadelphia after returning for one game earlier this month following four straight absences because of the unspecified illness.

Porzingis discussed the illness in general terms after the December 5 loss to Denver, his lone appearance in the past few weeks. The 30-year-old said his most recent ailment wasn’t related to postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), the condition he was diagnosed with after missing extended time last season.

“No, I wouldn’t say it’s the same thing,” Porzingis said. “I just wasn’t feeling too good, honestly. Just not being healthy healthy, you know? But I wouldn’t say it’s the same stuff from last season, so that’s good.

“I think I kind of put that behind me even this summer playing for the (Latvian) national team, but anyway, just catching whatever, it’s frustrating, you know? I want to be healthy. And I will be healthy.”

Porizingis will miss at least six more games beyond Sunday, with his earliest possible return date likely being Dec. 29 at Oklahoma City.

Mavericks Notes: Flagg, AD, Latest Win, Nembhard

December 14th, 2025 at 2:28pm CST by Rory Maher

Although the Mavericks didn’t find much success using Cooper Flagg as their starting point guard to open the season, both the rookie forward and head coach Jason Kidd believe the experience will benefit the No. 1 overall pick in the long term, per Eddie Sefko of Mavs.com.

“For sure, I think it definitely helped me to grow,” Flagg said of those games as the lead guard. “I learned a lot in that short period of time. We started the season with a lot of losses and a lot of tough games. I think I learned a lot in general. Just being comfortable and understanding is a big thing.

“I’d never really played point guard before. It’s a lot different than any other position. You have to be aware of a lot of other things. It’s a lot of new stuff if you haven’t done it before. I think I learned a ton about what it takes to lead a team as a point guard. I think it was pretty good for me.”

Kidd admitted the move wasn’t popular, but says he’s determined to help Flagg improve.

“From past experiences of giving others the ball, we’ve had success and failures,” Kidd said. “This is an 18-year-old playing against the best players in the world. I want to see how he handles it. I thought he did an incredible job (at point guard). The numbers will say something different. But I think as time goes on, there’s always a big picture.

“We’re playing the long game with him because of his age. We want to hopefully be a part of that successful story. He can handle that. He’s never come to me saying he doesn’t want to do something. He’s open to ideas and that’s kind of cool for a young kid that has all this information that’s pouring into him. Tell him one thing and he can deliver.”

We have more from Dallas:

ESPN’s NBA insiders suggest five hypothetical Anthony Davis trades, with Bobby Marks analyzing each of the proposals. A five-team blockbuster that sends Davis to Atlanta and Zach LaVine and a pair of protected first-round picks to Dallas is the most appealing deal from the Mavericks’ perspective, according to Marks.
Speaking of Davis, the 10-time All-Star big man has been a major part of the team’s recent turnaround, Sefko writes for the team’s website. The Mavs have won five of their past six games, with Davis carrying the team to victory on Friday against Brooklyn, finishing with 24 points, 14 rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks in 33 minutes. “He’s one of the best players at his position of all time,” Flagg said. “He knows the game incredibly well. He knows when to pick his spots, when to attack and when he’s getting doubled and where everybody is on the court. Whatever he’s doing out there, he’s going to be himself and keep it simple. He’s going to make the right play all the time.”
Rookie point guard Ryan Nembhard has been one of the pleasant surprises in a turbulent season in Dallas. Nembhard’s teammates rave about the 5’11” Canadian’s game, according to Grant Afseth of Dallas Hoops Journal. “Ryan is nice — I’m not going to lie,” said guard Brandon Williams, who lost his starting spot to Nembhard. “He gets to the rim. People kind of look at his size, but he uses his size to his advantage. He gets by people, he makes plays for others, and everybody on our team loves playing with him. Even if he’s not getting the assist, the ball is moving with him on the floor and everybody likes that. We all see it and I think that’s what’s contributed to us winning.”

And-Ones: Undervalued Players, Calf Strains, Beverley, Morris

December 14th, 2025 at 1:19pm CST by Rory Maher

John Hollinger of The Athletic lists seven “undervalued” players from around the NBA who are making an outsized impact relative to their contracts. The seven players are specifically “hard-playing, unheralded guys with a little bit of extra edge to them,” as Hollinger puts it.

Raptors backup point guard Jamal Shead is the first player listed, which isn’t surprising. As Hollinger writes, Shead made an immediate impact as a rookie due to his strong defense, but his offensive improvements in year two have made him a key part of Toronto’s rotation.

While the 23-year-old’s shooting is still a “work in progress,” he is processing the game at a higher level in 2025/26.

“Just going left and making reads,” Shead said of his offseason improvement. “It’s not always about scoring, it’s about if they’re trying to push me left or right in the ball screen, can I still make the read out of that? I’m understanding the pace of the game and how to really create for my teammates. … Impacting defense is what I’m going to do regardless, but I’m impacting offense this year a lot more too.”

Suns guard Jordan Goodwin, Nuggets forward Peyton Watson, and Hornets center Moussa Diabate are among the other players highlighted by Hollinger.

Here are a few more odds and ends from around the basketball world:

In an interesting and in-depth story for Yahoo Sports, Tom Haberstroh takes a look at the increase in players missing time with calf strains this season. While there are two very famous examples (Kevin Durant and Tyrese Haliburton) of players with calf injuries later tearing their Achilles tendon, those cases have been the exception and not the rule. “The interesting thing is, historically, a calf strain is thought of as this completely separate injury from an Achilles tear,” said Dr. Scott Ellis of the Hospital of Special Surgery (HSS) in New York. “When you have somebody with an Achilles rupture, nine times out of 10 — actually, even more, 99% of the time — they don’t have anything that you could pick up structurally in an imaging exam on their Achilles.”
Longtime NBA guard Patrick Beverley, who spent last season in Israel, has reached a contract agreement with the Greek club PAOK, reports Nikola Miloradovic of Eurohoops.net. According to Miloradovic, Beverley is expected to arrive in Thessaloniki — where the team is based — on Saturday evening to finalize the deal, which is pending a physical. Beverley, whose last NBA stint was with Milwaukee in 2023/24, was arrested last month in Texas and charged with assault of a family/household member. TMZ reported that Beverley was accused of punching his sister in the eye and choking her for between 20 and 30 seconds.
Veteran NBA guard Monte Morris, who spent time with the Pacers earlier this season, officially signed with the Greek EuroLeague team Olympiacos last week. Eurohoops.net passes along some highlights from Morris’ introductory press conference.

Spurs’ G League Affiliate Acquires Christian Koloko

December 14th, 2025 at 11:30am CST by Rory Maher

The Austin Spurs have acquired the G League rights to Christian Koloko from the available player pool, San Antonio’s affiliate team announced in a press release.

Koloko was technically claimed off the waiver wire, per the NBAGL’s transaction log.

The 33rd overall pick of the 2022 NBA draft, Koloko had a promising rookie season with the Raptors, but he was unable to suit up during the 2023/24 campaign due to a blood clot issue and was released by Toronto in January 2024. The 6’11” center signed a two-way contract with the Lakers in July 2024 and was medically cleared to resume his career by the NBA’s fitness-to-play panel in October 2024.

Koloko spent all of last season with the Lakers and re-signed with Los Angeles on another two-way deal in July. However, the Lakers waived the Cameroonian big man in late November to make roster space for Drew Timme.

In 97 career NBA games, Koloko has averaged 2.8 points, 2.7 rebounds in 11.9 minutes per contest.

Despite being acquired by Austin, Koloko remains an unrestricted NBA free agent.

Thunder Notes: SGA, J-Dub, Win Mark, Caruso, Topic

December 14th, 2025 at 10:47am CST by Rory Maher

While the Thunder were disappointed to drop Saturday’s game to San Antonio — Oklahoma City’s first loss in five-plus weeks — they were more focused on areas of improvement afterward rather than hanging their heads, writes Tim MacMahon of ESPN.

“Personally, I think it’s exciting,” superstar guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said. “It’s easier to learn when you don’t feel the way you want to feel. It stings a little bit more.

“We’ll also see these guys [twice in the next five] games. So, it will be a good challenge. Kind of like an automatic test, almost like in school. You fail the test, you get to retest a couple days later. That’s what it will probably feel like. Losing is where you find growth and where you really get better.”

Oklahoma City had its preferred starting lineup available on Saturday for the first time since the team won the championship in June, MacMahon notes. The Thunder were up 16 points late in the second quarter, but the Spurs rallied before halftime and wound up winning by two points.

Gilgeous-Alexander took responsibility for his part in the team’s “stagnant” offense — he finished with a game-high 29 points but also committed a season-high five turnovers.

“We can’t be spoiled,” Gilgeous-Alexander said, per MacMahon. “We can’t think we’re above anything. Us, along with every team in the league, if you show up on a night and don’t do the necessary thing to win, you probably won’t win, no matter how talented or no matter what your record looks like. That was the case for us tonight.”

Here’s more on the defending champions:

The Thunder went 68-14 last season and won the NBA championship. However, they fell in the final of last year’s NBA Cup and were eliminated in the semifinals on Saturday. Star forward Jalen Williams, who finished with 17 points, seven rebounds, four assists and four steals but shot just 5-of-17 from the field, admitted the team was hoping to add to its trophy case, relays Joe Vardon of The Athletic. “Yeah, it’s frustrating,” said Williams. “There’s perspective on it, for sure. I think an average team would probably be like, ‘Oh, it’s the Cup, whatever, we lost one.’ What are we, 24-2? I mean, we can go home and just hang our hat on that, or we can look at it as a way to get better and understand that we played against a playoff team that beat us and gave us a two on our (loss record). So that’s how we’ll look at it from a competitive standpoint.”
Entering Saturday’s game, the Thunder were tied with the 2015/16 Warriors for the best 25-game start in NBA history. Golden State went on to break Chicago’s regular season win mark by compiling a 73-9 record, but fell in the 2016 NBA Finals to Cleveland. As MacMahon writes for ESPN.com, Gilgeous-Alexander said on Friday that it would “absolutely” be meaningful if the Thunder were able to break the Warriors’ record, but he also cautioned that the team was more focused on repeating as champions and continuing to make day-to-day improvements.
The reigning MVP was asked about the win record again after Saturday’s loss, according to Vardon. “Seventy-three and nine? I mean, the position we’re in right now, what are we, 24-2? My goal is to get better,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “So if we get better than what we are now, that should take care of itself. That’s kind of how I see it. Goals to me are pointless trying to reach at when they are so far away. You have to take care of everything step-by-step, and tonight we didn’t. If we stack nights like we did tonight, we won’t even come close to it.”
Veteran guard Alex Caruso was one of the standouts for the Thunder in Saturday’s loss, observes Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman (subscription required). On a night in which the offense wasn’t firing on all cylinders, Caruso did his best to will the team to victory in crunch time, Martinez writes, recording seven points, three rebounds and two steals in eight fourth-quarter minutes. The two-time champion finished with 11 points (on 5-of-9 shooting), eight rebounds, three assists and three steals, with the Thunder outscoring the Spurs by 22 points in his 24 minutes.
Williams was recently asked about 2024 lottery pick Nikola Topic, who is undergoing treatment for testicular cancer. The Serbian guard missed his entire rookie season with a torn ACL prior to the cancer diagnosis this fall. “He doesn’t come in like, ‘It sucks.’ He’s going in, working out and shooting and trying to get better, which is insane to me. … He’s been really strong about the situation. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself,” Williams said of Topic (Twitter link via Martinez).

Yabusele On Limited Knicks Role: ‘It’s Very Difficult’

December 14th, 2025 at 9:41am CST by Rory Maher

Guerschon Yabusele‘s first season with the Knicks hasn’t gone the way either side envisioned after the team signed the veteran big man to a two-year, $11.25MM contract over the summer.

After averaging 11.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists on .501/.380/.725 shooting in 70 games (27.1 minutes per contest) with Philadelphia last season, Yabusele’s numbers have dropped considerably in 2025/26. He’s averaging just 3.0 PPG and 2.2 RPG in 24 appearances (9.8 MPG), with a shooting slash line of .400/.295/.600; more than half of his field goal attempts have been threes.

Prior to Saturday’s NBA Cup semifinal against Orlando, Yabusele admitted to a level of frustration with his limited role in a French interview with AFP and Basket USA (story via Ouest-France; hat tip to Nikola Miloradovic of Eurohoops).

“I don’t want to lie to you, it’s very difficult,” Yabusele said. “I’m a competitor first. It’s not a situation I thought (I would be in) coming here.”

Yabusele, who turns 30 years old on Wednesday, played in Europe for several years after a two-season stint with Boston early in his career. He says he’s staying positive despite the difficult circumstances, and credits the Knicks’ supportive locker room for helping him remain upbeat.

“I try to be ready whenever my name is called,” Yabusele said. “I try to control my impact on the court, no matter how much time I get.“

Knicks, Spurs Advance To NBA Cup Final

December 14th, 2025 at 8:11am CST by Rory Maher

Behind game highs of 40 points and eight assists from star guard Jalen Brunson, the Knicks defeated the Magic by 12 points on Saturday in Las Vegas to advance to the final of the NBA Cup, also known as the in-season tournament.

“When you have an MVP of the league candidate in Jalen Brunson, you know, 16-for-27, 40 points, he makes the game easier for everybody,” head coach Mike Brown said, per Vincent Goodwill of ESPN. “That’s what MVPs are supposed to do, and he definitely did that tonight.”

Karl-Anthony Towns (29 points on 9-of-11 shooting, nine rebounds) and OG Anunoby (24 points on 8-of-13 shooting, six rebounds, four assists, three steals) were among the other standouts for New York.

Jalen Suggs led Orlando with 26 points and seven assists, but he was forced to leave the game in the third quarter due to a left hip injury.

The other semifinal matchup featured San Antonio and Oklahoma City. The Spurs emerged with a two-point victory over the defending champions, ending the Thunder’s 16-game winning streak in the process.

As Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com details, while four Spurs finished with 20-plus points, the primary takeaway from the game was the play of big man Victor Wembanyama, who was making his first appearance in a month after missing the past 12 games due to a left calf strain. Coming off the bench for the first time in his career, the French star finished with 22 points, nine rebounds and two blocks, with San Antonio outscoring OKC by 21 points in his 21 minutes.

“It’s our first time playing [with] everybody [healthy],” Wembanyama said. “We were already a solid team already more than 20 games ago. It’s just experience. We’re just figuring it out. And the difference with us and [Oklahoma City] is we haven’t had this many reps recognizing what it takes to win. And this is our next step.

“This OKC team, they’re not just first in the league. They’re way ahead of everybody. And when you watch them, no matter who, whether it’s the 12th man or the starting five, whether they’re playing against the 15th seed or any kind of game, they’re playing the same way. They’re enjoying the little things that make them win, and this is the next step we have to pass.”

The final between New York and San Antonio will take place Tuesday at 7:30 pm CT in Las Vegas, the NBA announced (via Twitter). Both teams are currently 18-7.
