ภาษาไทย Giannis Antetokounmpo reveals key reason why Milwaukee Bucks won NBA Cup
Posted on December 19, 2024
Giannis Antetokounmpo insists that a resurgent Milwaukee Bucks were “leaving Las Vegas as a better team” after leading his side to a resounding 97-81 victory over Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Cup title game.
The 30-year-old was named tournament MVP for a dominant display which saw him score 26 points to go along with 19 rebounds and 10 assists as the Bucks connected on 17 three-pointers to comfortably down a subdued Thunder.
Since winning only two of their first 10 games, the Bucks have the best record in the NBA at 12-3 (the NBA Cup games do not count in the official standings) and they kept Tuesday’s rivals to a season-low 81 points, including just 31 points in the second half.
The comprehensive defeat of the Thunder was their 13th win in the last 16 games and, even though it won’t be part of the official record, Antetokounmpo believes it was vital for his side to continue their good run of form in the tournament.
“This has been a great trip. This has been a trip for six days everybody has been locked in, on time for the film sessions, so focused on the walkthroughs. At practice we were able to be so sharp,” he said.
