BUCKS ROUT THUNDER 97-81 TO WIN NBA CUP CHAMPIONSHIP

The Milwaukee Bucks can raise a new banner. Milwaukee on Tuesday easily handled the Oklahoma City Thunder 97-81 to win the 2024 NBA Cup, its first win in the second edition of the tournament founded last season.

Oklahoma City had been the better team for most of the first half, looking to establish a big lead but being rejected by multiple Milwaukee answers. But the second half was a completely different story, as Oklahoma City mustered just 14 points in the third quarter to 26 for Milwaukee. Milwaukee again outscored Oklahoma City 20-17 in the fourth to seal the win.
