Knicks clinch NBA Cup; Brunson named MVP
"LAS VEGAS -- OG Anunoby scored 28 points, Jalen Brunson had 25, and the New York Knicks rallied to beat Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs 124-113 on Tuesday night to win the NBA Cup. Now the Knicks can hang a banner next to the 1973 NBA championship banner in Madison Square Garden, the last time they won the title."
"Dylan Harper led the Spurs with 21 points, Wembanyama scored 18 and De'Aaron Fox had 16. New York dominated inside, outrebounding the Spurs 59-42, with Mitchell Robinson collecting 15 boards, including 10 on the offensive end. That helped give the Knicks a 56-44 edge in points in the lane. The Spurs, however, led for much of the game before the Knicks went on a 13-1 run that began late in the third quarter to go up 100-95. New York never trailed again."
