The NBA Cup title game matchup is finally set.

In the semifinals Saturday night, the Knicks took down the Magic 132–120 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas behind 40 points from Jalen Brunson. A few hours later, Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs became just the second team to beat the Thunder this season with a 111–109 win.

The Knicks will battle the Spurs on Tuesday night for a chance to become the third NBA Cup champion in league history.

San Antonio went 3–1 in group play, which was enough to win Group C in the Western Conference. The Spurs took down the Lakers 132–119 in the quarterfinals Wednesday night thanks to Stephon Castle’s third career game with at least 30 points.

The Knicks, on the other hand, won Group C in the East with a 3–1 record. They defeated the Raptors 117–101 on Tuesday night and never trailed by more than six points on Saturday against Orlando.
