Breaking down Knicks-Spurs —where Mike Brown’s most important decision lies

LAS VEGAS — These two teams hardly know each other. 

Tuesday’s NBA Cup final will be the first time the Knicks and Spurs match up this season. The Knicks have only faced off with Victor Wembanyama a total of three times, in which they went 2-1. 

There is a trophy and the difference of $318,560 in prize money ($530,933 for the winners, $212,373 for the losers) for each player on the line. 

In the semis, the Knicks dispatched the Magic, while the Spurs took down the mighty Thunder, handing them just their second loss all season.
