Andrew, our top story this week is the world champion New York Knicks, who won the NBA Cup this week, beating the San Antonio Spurs 124-113 in Las Vegas.

Jalen Brunson scored 25 points in the game, winning the NBA Cup MVP.

But the most impressive performance might have been Mitchell Robinson, who grabbed 15 rebounds in only 18 minutes of play, including 10 offensive rebounds.

For all you cupheads out there, that is definitely the most offensive rebounds in an NBA Cup final history.

Oh.

Now, despite the big win, it was reported after the game that the Knicks would not be hanging a banner to celebrate the NBA Cup win.

Boo.

The announcement was a massive disappointment for all Cup respecters, but was welcome news for all the Atlantic Division respecters.

Thankfully, the Knicks' five Atlantic Division banners, which celebrate the seasons when the Knicks were better than four teams, will still hang proudly in MSG.

The Knicks have now won six in a row, only a game and a half back of the Pistons.

Now for the Spurs, it was a disappointing end to their cup run, but there's still a lot to be excited about.

First, to make it to the finals, the Spurs had arguably the biggest win of the season, defeating the Thunder 111-109 in the semifinals.

Unlike OKC's first loss of the season, the Thunder were healthy, playing their normal starting lineup for the first time this season.

OKC could not overcome minutes restriction.

Victor Weminyama, who returned to the Spurs bench for the first time in a month.

Wemby scored 22 points and was a game high plus 21 in only 21 minutes.

Now, the other thing for Spurs fans to be excited about is the recent history of NBA Cup finals losers.

Two years ago, the Pacers.

bounced back from their devastating Cup loss and made the Eastern Conference Finals.

Last year, the Thunder rebounded from literally their worst game of the season against the Bucs in the Cup Finals and won the championship.
