Milwaukee Bucks Claim NBA Cup

The Milwaukee Bucks, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, secured the second edition of the NBA Cup by defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder 97-81 on Tuesday in Las Vegas. Antetokounmpo was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player (MVP), delivering a stellar performance with a triple-double of 26 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists, along with three blocks and two steals.

Remaining undefeated in seven games of this competition, which was created last year to enhance the regular season's appeal, the Bucks faced a tight contest against the Thunder in the first half, leading narrowly at 51-50. However, they surged ahead by winning the third quarter 26-14.

"This is our identity," commented Antetokounmpo regarding the Bucks' strong performance, which limited the Thunder's offense to just 31 points in the second half. "I am so proud of this group. After halftime, we knew we had 24 minutes left to play, and we set the tone in the third quarter," added the "Greek Freak".
