Brunson Named MVP as Knicks Capture NBA Cup With 124-113 Win Over Spurs

The in-season trophy highlights New York’s interior edge and pays six-figure bonuses while leaving regular-season records unchanged.

Overview

  • New York erased an 11-point third-quarter deficit in Las Vegas, using a 13-1 surge to seize control and close out San Antonio 124-113.
  • OG Anunoby scored 28 points and Jalen Brunson added 25 en route to tournament MVP honors, powering a balanced Knicks attack.
  • The Knicks dominated the glass 59-42, with Mitchell Robinson grabbing 15 rebounds (10 offensive) and a 56-44 advantage in points in the paint.
  • Players on the winning roster earn $530,933 each and Spurs players receive $212,373, with two-way contracts paid at half those amounts.
  • The game does not count in the standings, so both teams remain 18-7; San Antonio reached the final after ending Oklahoma City’s 16-game win streak as Victor Wembanyama continued a minutes-limited return from a calf strain.
