@SbondyNBA If you’re going to have division champion banners, you may as well have a Cup champion banner
@SbondyNBA This is silly of them if true. Giving in to the narrative that this shouldn't mean anything to the players and fans out of fear of being mocked. Every team competed for it, and only the Knicks came out on top. We can celebrate this while STILL putting focus on the bigger picture
@SbondyNBA Absolutely stupid as you put up banners for pointless division championships, but not an NBA cup where you literally beat out the entire league??

@SbondyNBA Hanging a cup banner is better than hanging divisional banners.
@SbondyNBA Don’t worry. They should reconsider cuz they won’t be getting a NBA title this decade.
New York won the Spurs 124-113 after trailing for much of the game. They took control in the fourth quarter, where they outscored the Spurs 35-19 to secure the victory. OG Anunoby led New York with 28 points, nine rebounds and three assists, and Jalen Brunson added 25 points, four rebounds and eight assists.
They intend to acknowledge the Cup win with fans at their next home game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday.
Spurs rookie Dylan Harper chipped in with 21 points and seven rebounds. Victor Wembanyama added 18 points and six rebounds.
Jalen Brunson was named NBA Cup MVP. The title marked the team’s first major title since winning a conference title in 1999.
What’s next for the New York Knicks?
The New York Knicks (18-7) have won nine of their last 10 games and will use the Cup win as motivation for a championship-run.
