The Emirates NBA Cup in-season basketball tournament has been an NBA staple for two seasons now, and the previous two winners, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Milwaukee Bucks, have been shut out. That means we’ll see a first-time winner in next week’s Championship final. This Saturday’s semifinals feature an afternoon Eastern conference matchup between the New York Knicks vs. Orlando Magic at 5:30 p.m. ET, followed by the Western conference semifinal between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs at 9 p.m. ET.
The Spurs picked up a 132-119 victory over the Lakers, the inaugural NBA Cup champs, to advance to the semis, while the Thunder posted their 16th straight win at Wednesday’s quarterfinal, blowing past the Phoenix Suns 138-89 to earn their spot.
Today’s semifinals and the Championship Final on Tuesday, Dec. 16, will be held at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. You can catch all the NBA Cup action on Prime Video, which holds exclusive rights to the playoffs and Championship Final. Here’s what you need to know to tune in.
