The stage is set for the NBA Cup championship game as the Milwaukee Bucks will face off against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday, December 17, 2024. Both teams showcased impressive performances in their semifinal matchups, securing their place in the highly anticipated final.

This year’s NBA Cup has been nothing short of thrilling, and the championship clash between the Bucks and Thunder promises to be a must-watch event for basketball fans around the world.

The Bucks once again proved they are one of the most dominant teams in NBA Cup play, improving to an incredible 11-1 all-time record in NBA Cup games. Their only loss came in last year’s semifinals, but this time they made sure to punch their ticket to the title game.

Giannis Antetokounmpo played a near-perfect game, posting a stat line that was just one assist shy of a triple-double.

The Oklahoma City Thunder clinched their ticket to the NBA Cup championship with a commanding 119-105 victory over the Houston Rockets. The win was fueled by a well-rounded effort from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who dropped 32 points despite an inefficient 8-of-21 shooting performance.

Three other Thunder starters scored in double figures, with Isaiah Hartenstein (21 points), Jalen Williams (20 points), and Lu Dort (19 points) stepping up in critical moments. The Thunder‘s balanced offensive attack allowed them to pull away from Houston in the second half.
