The Emirates NBA Cup has officially moved to Las Vegas, which means the semifinals and championship are upon us.
The two semifinal matchups are a contrast in familiarity. The New York Knicks-Orlando Magic game Saturday will be the fourth time the teams have met this season, and the second time in the past week, while the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs face each other for the first time this season.
Both games feature unique intrigue, as the Knicks and Magic are both vying for supremacy in a wide-open Eastern Conference and the Thunder and Spurs are renewing a rivalry in the Western Conference.
