The NBA Cup portion of the schedule wraps up on Tuesday night as the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> take on the New York Knicks<\/a> for the NBA Cup championship–a game that doesn’t count in the standings. It is the only game on the schedule and then the NBA goes back to its regular season schedule throughout the season.<\/p>\n
