拉斯维加斯电 — — 距离尼克斯上一次在麦迪逊广场花园挂起NBA总冠军旗帜，已经过去了半个多世纪。
尽管自1973年以来的漫长等待在周二晚并未结束，但纽约如今可以为一面崭新的NBA杯冠军旗帜腾出空间了。
OG·阿努诺比 (OG Anunoby) 砍下28分，杰伦·布伦森 (Jalen Brunson) 得到25分，尼克斯最终逆转击败了由维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 领衔的圣安东尼奥马刺队，比分为124-113。
“这太棒了，我们会好好享受这一刻，”布伦森说道。“但明天离开这里之后，我们就要翻篇向前看了。”
这是一套冠军级别的阵容——NBA杯MVP布伦森、约什·哈特 (Josh Hart) 和米卡尔·布里奇斯 (Mikal Bridges) 在维拉诺瓦大学时期都曾剪下过篮网——他们对代表东部联盟出战NBA总决赛寄予厚望。
“当比赛进入到某个阶段，这就变成了单场淘汰赛，所以每场比赛都至关重要，”纽约队主教练迈克·布朗 (Mike Brown) 表示。“如果你想达到自己预期的水准，那么每场比赛都会有压力。当你能够取得成功时，它会为队内每个人注入信心。”
尼克斯队的卡尔-安东尼·唐斯 (Karl-Anthony Towns) 尽管遭遇了小腿伤病的困扰，仍然贡献了16分和11个篮板。他在上半场结束前一分钟回到了更衣室，随后在第三节还剩5分06秒时又返回替补席，直到第四节末段才重新登场。
马刺队方面，迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 得到全队最高的21分，文班亚马得到18分，德阿龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 得到16分。
文班亚马提前离开了赛后新闻发布会，因为他透露自己在周二“刚刚失去了一位重要的人”。
纽约队在内线占据了绝对优势，篮板球总数以59-42领先马刺。其中，米切尔·罗宾逊 (Mitchell Robinson) 在18分钟内抢下了15个篮板，包括10个前场篮板。这帮助尼克斯在内线得分上以56-44占据上风。
然而，马刺队在比赛的大部分时间里都保持着领先，直到尼克斯在第三节末段打出一波13-1的攻击波，以100-95反超比分。此后，纽约队再也未曾落后。
“在打了25场比赛之后，我相信我们已经展现出了一些成为一支优秀球队的迹象，”马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 说道。“但我们也暴露了很多需要改进的地方。我认为今天这场比赛就是我们现状的真实写照。”
尼克斯队得到的不仅仅是一座奖杯。每位持有标准合同的球员因获胜而额外获得了318,560美元的奖金，这使得他们参加本届杯赛的总奖金达到了530,933美元。
本场比赛的结果不计入常规赛战绩，因此两队的战绩仍然是18胜7负，均位列各自赛区的榜首。
仅仅是进入决赛对两支球队来说都是个好兆头。前四届杯赛的决赛队伍——洛杉矶湖人队、印第安纳步行者队、俄克拉荷马城雷霆队和密尔沃基雄鹿队——最终也都成功进入了季后赛。步行者队在2024年闯入了东部决赛，而雷霆队则在上赛季赢得了NBA总冠军。
后续赛程
尼克斯：周四晚客场对阵印第安纳步行者。
马刺：周四晚主场迎战华盛顿奇才。

Knicks win NBA Cup after rallying to beat Spurs 124-113
LAS VEGAS – — It’s been more than half a century since the Knicks hung an NBA championship banner inside Madison Square Garden.
The wait since 1973 to add another one didn’t end on Tuesday night, but New York can make room for the NBA Cup banner.
OG Anunoby scored 28 points, Jalen Brunson had 25, and the Knicks rallied to beat Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs 124-113.
“This is great and we’re going to enjoy this,” Brunson said. “But once we leave tomorrow, we’re moving on.”
This is a championship roster — NBA Cup MVP Brunson, Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges cut down the nets in college at Villanova — with high hopes of representing the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals.
“This is a single-elimination tournament when you get to a certain point, so every game counts,” New York coach Mike Brown said. “There was pressure on every game if you expect to be who you think you are. When you’re able to have success, it breeds confidence in everybody in the organization.”
New York’s Karl-Anthony Towns had 16 points and 11 rebounds despite battling a calf injury. He went into the locker room with a minute left before halftime and later exited for the bench with 5:06 remaining in the third quarter and didn’t return until late in the fourth.
Dylan Harper led the Spurs with 21 points, Wembanyama scored 18 and De’Aaron Fox had 16.
Wembanyama excused himself early from the postgame news conference because he said “just lost somebody” on Tuesday.
New York dominated inside, outrebounding the Spurs 59-42, with Mitchell Robinson collecting 15 boards, including 10 on the offensive end in 18 minutes. 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.
“After 25 games in, I believe that we’ve shown some signs that we can be a pretty good team," Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “We’ve also shown that we have a lot of areas of improvement. I think that’s where we were living today.”
The Knicks got more than a trophy. Each player with a standard contract got an extra $318,560 for winning, making the total $530,933 for even reaching the final.
This game doesn’t count in the standings, so both teams remain 18-7, putting them atop their respective divisions.
Just making the final bodes well for both teams. The previous four finalists — Los Angeles Lakers, Indiana, Oklahoma City and Milwaukee — also made the playoffs. The Pacers made the Eastern Conference finals in 2024, and the Thunder won the NBA championship last season.
