The NBA Cup is down to four teams.

In the other matchup, Stephon Castle posted 30 points—his third career game with 30+ points—to help the Spurs take down the Lakers 132–119.
On Tuesday night, Jalen Brunson and the Knicks continued their NBA Cup run with a 117–101 win over the Raptors, and the Magic beat the Heat 117–108 behind Desmond Bane’s 37-point flurry.
The Thunder, Spurs, Knicks and Magic now will head to Las Vegas for the chance to win the third NBA Cup in league history.
