The celebrity superfan did not need to think twice about making the trip to Las Vegas and showed up over 30 minutes early for the Knicks\u2019 semifinal matchup against the Orlando Magic.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Lee was <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NBAonPrime\/status\/1999958985575628884\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:accompanied in his courtside seats;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">accompanied in his courtside seats<\/a> by his son, Jackson Lee. The two were decked out in Knicks gear, prompting the director to proudly represent the \u201cfather and son\u201d duo.<\/p>\n<p>Lee is always a dedicated Knicks supporter, but he has increased his involvement with the team in 2025-2026. The 68-year-old has thoroughly enjoyed the team\u2019s current 8-1 run in its last nine games.<\/p>\n<p>The Knicks stroll into their NBA Cup semifinal matchup with the Magic riding a four-game win streak. They are fresh off a 117-101 win over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday. <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/knicks-jalen-brunson-wholesome-banter-070908078.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Jalen Brunson led the team with 35 points;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jalen Brunson led the team with 35 points<\/a> in the win, his third consecutive 30-point game.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The semifinal matchup is a rematch of a six-point game on Dec. 7. New York beat Orlando 106-100 at Madison Square Garden for the third victory of its current win streak.<\/p>\n<p>After getting off to a slow start to the season, the Knicks have just four losses since the start of November.

Orlando\u2019s last two victories both came against the Miami Heat to advance them in the NBA Cup. Desmond Bane was the team\u2019s leading scorer in its most recent victory with 37, his third game with as many points in two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/knicks-multiple-injury-updates-nba-161725516.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Knicks get multiple injury updates for NBA Cup game vs. Magic;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Knicks get multiple injury updates for NBA Cup game vs. Magic<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/sources-knicks-eyes-2-western-180154030.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Sources: Knicks have eyes on 2 Western Conference guards as trade season opens;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sources: Knicks have eyes on 2 Western Conference guards as trade season opens<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Knicks superfan Spike Lee is locked in for NBA Cup semi-finals appeared first on ClutchPoints.
