The NBA Cup quarterfinal bracket is locked in, with the Miami Heat visiting the Orlando Magic and the New York Knicks traveling to the Toronto Raptors in the East.
In the West, it will be an Oklahoma City Thunder–Phoenix Suns rematch and a clash between the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Knicks claimed the final Eastern quarterfinal spot by beating the defending NBA Cup champions, the Milwaukee Bucks, 118-109 to win East Group C.
That loss eliminated Milwaukee from contention for a back-to-back run in Las Vegas, while Toronto and Orlando topped Groups A and B with perfect 4-0 records.
New York finished 3-1 and edged Miami for first place in Group C thanks to the head-to-head tiebreaker, with the Heat taking the East wild card at 3-1.
Out West, the Thunder, reigning NBA champions now 19-1 this season, held off Phoenix to win Group A, and the Spurs beat Denver in a tight finish to clinch Group C and a quarterfinal berth.
