It's the end of November in the NBA , and lately, that has meant one thing: the culmination of group play for the NBA Cup. The format was once again altered this season, with the group stage of the tournament held somewhat inconsistently until the end of November. The week of Thanksgiving was instead stacked with three days of NBA Cup action to give fans with a bit more time on their hands some marquee basketball to watch.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday all featured group stage games for the Cup, and Friday's slate concluded that round of the tournament. We now know the eight teams that will advance to the knockout stage: the Knicks , Magic , Raptors and Heat in the East, and the Thunder, Lakers, Spurs and Suns in the West.

Quarterfinal games will still be played in home venue
