Knicks Won NBA Cup But Skip MSG Banner

The Knicks will not hang a banner at Madison Square Garden for their 2025 NBA Cup title. Ian Begley said the club has "bigger goals in mind" and does not want to "diminish the accomplishment." They will celebrate with fans before Friday's game against the 76ers. The Cup came with a 124 to 113 win over the Spurs. Merlin sees a team deliberate in its climb. Jalen Brunson was Cup MVP with 25 points and eight assists and OG Anunoby scored 28, proof the Knicks can beat top opponents. Unlike the Lakers and Bucks, New York views the Cup as a step toward an NBA title. At 18 7 and near the top of the East, the trophy may fuel a push or end up a warm up.
