Knicks vs Spurs NBA Cup championship game predictions
Knicks and Spurs clash in the NBA Cup championship game, we predict who will win
And then there were two.
Although many NBA fans expected the Oklahoma City Thunder to coast to the third-ever NBA Cup title, the San Antonio Spurs, led by third-year center Victor Wembanyama, played spoiler with their 111-109 victory over the Thunder in the semfinals. Now, all that stands between this young group and an NBA Cup championship is the New York Knicks.
The Knicks have had an equally difficult path to the title game, having to take care of both the Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic in order to get to this point. While both of those teams are tremendously talented, the Knicks haven’t faced much trouble, winning each game by at least 12 points.
Such dominance would make you think the Knicks are the favorites heading into tonight’s contest. However, the Spurs have proven themselves capable of taking on the best teams in the league, and they will be very tough to beat.
