On Saturday, the Orlando Magic (15-10) face the New York Knicks (17-7) in the NBA Cup semifinals, and if you’re wondering how to catch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Magic knocked off the Miami Heat 117-108 on Tuesday, earning their first trip to the championship rounds in Las Vegas. They trailed 15-0 to begin the game, but outscored the Heat in each of the following three quarters for their sixth double-digit comeback win.

Desmond Bane tied a season high with 37 points to lead the Magic, while Jalen Suggs tallied 20 points and Paolo Banchero added 18 points and seven rebounds. Bane is the first Magic player to score at least 35 points three times in a six-game span since Tracy McGrady (2004).

The Knicks defeated the Toronto Raptors 117-101 on Tuesday, punching their ticket to the semifinals for the first time. Down by four points after the first 12 minutes, the group outscored the Raptors 34-13 in the second quarter to take the lead for good.

Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 35 points, Josh Hart scored 21 points and six rebounds and Karl-Anthony Towns added 14 points and 16 rebounds. Brunson is now tied with Richie Guerin for the third-most 30-point performances in franchise history (87).

The Knicks and Magic are meeting for the fourth time this season, with Orlando taking the first two matchups. The winner on Saturday will face either the San Antonio Spurs or the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Cup Finals on Tuesday.
