How to watch NBA Cup Final 2025: live stream Spurs vs Knicks online from anywhere, preview

This is exactly what the NBA Cup was created for. Two success-starved franchises face off in the final of the in-season tournament at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Tuesday, with the San Antonio Spurs led by fit-again megastar Victor Wembanyama, and Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns showing exactly why the New York Knicks have been installed as the Eastern Conference favorites.

This is their first meeting of the year, but they split a pair of wildly entertaining showdowns last season. Sandro Mamukelashvili and Towns top-scored with 34 and 32 points respectively when the Spurs won 120-105 in March, after the Knicks won an unforgettable Christmas classic 117-114, a game that saw Wembanyama and Mikal Bridges run riot with 42 and 41 points. Wemby also put up 18 rebounds, four assists and four blocks in an extraordinary losing display.
