The Knicks rallied past the San Antonio Spurs 124–113 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to claim the 2025 NBA Cup. Trailing entering the fourth quarter, New York leaned on rebounding, physicality, and timely shot-making to pull away late and secure the trophy.
Towns finished with a double-double and battled through a brief third-quarter injury scare, but Mitchell Robinson’s presence off the bench shifted the game’s tone. The center controlled the glass, particularly on the offensive end, creating extra possessions that helped swing momentum during the comeback.
Following the win, SNY Knicks Videos shared Towns’ postgame comments on X (formerly known as Twitter), where he explained why Robinson’s performance stood out after years of competing against him.
“I knew playing against Mitch how he impacts the game. To be his teammate now and see what he does, shoutout to Mitch man. Hell of a day at the office for him”
Robinson finished with 15 rebounds, including 10 offensive boards, consistently extending possessions as the Spurs struggled to close defensive stands. His effort helped fuel a decisive fourth-quarter run that flipped the game in New York’s favor.
