The Spurs gave the Thunder their second loss of the season, after a strong 24-1 start. On Wembanyama’s return, he had 22 points, nine rebounds and two blocks off the bench. San Antonio will stay in Las Vegas, Nevada, to face the New York Knicks in the NBA Cup Finals on Tuesday.
Two years ago Brunson, the most celebrated second-round pick since Nikola Jokic, led all American-born players in scoring, and he has since maintained the pace. He has been an MVP top-five finisher and for the second time with the Knicks he’s averaging 28 points.
Who is playing in the 2025 NBA Cup Final? That has been determined after semifinal action concluded in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
The San Antonio Spurs have been the biggest surprise in the NBA this 2025-26 season. They have an 18-7 record and are the fourth-best team in the Western Conference. The Spurs had another stunning achievement in the campaign after beating the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday in the semifinals of the Emirates NBA Cup.
The victory gives New York a chance to prove that it can contend not only in the East but also against one of the West's best.

Knicks advance to NBA Cup final after knocking off Magic behind Jalen Brunson’s 40-point gem
As the Knicks regained control of the game late in the third quarter, Brunson dropped Anthony Black — who had told The Post he planned to “get into his jersey and see how he responds” on Friday — with a stepback before drilling a 3-pointer.
Jalen Brunson scored at least 30 points for the fourth consecutive game, his season-high 40 leading the Knicks past the Orlando Magic 132-120 on Saturday and putting New York in the NBA Cup final. The Knicks, who have won five in a row and nine of 10, will play Oklahoma City or San Antonio on Tuesday night for the championship.
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 ).
The Emirates NBA Cup Semifinals and Finals are back for its third season, bringing adrenaline fueled action to Las Vegas.
