The Milwaukee Bucks and Oklahoma City Thunder were victorious in NBA Cup quarterfinal action Tuesday night.
The second annual NBA Cup’s knockout phase began with a Tuesday night doubleheader of quarterfinal games. The first contest between the Orlando Magic and Milwaukee Bucks went down to the wire with the Bucks winning 114-109 at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Down 107-106 late in the fourth quarter, Bucks guard Damian Lillard capitalized on the Magic’s defensive breakdown, driving easily to the basket for the go-ahead uncontested layup with less than 33 seconds remaining in regulation.
Despite getting 18 points from Gilgeous-Alexander while holding Dončić to just two points in the half, OKC only took a three-point lead to the intermission. Oklahoma City put a stranglehold on the game in third quarter, as the Thunder stretched their lead to as many as 20 points with Gilgeous-Alexander continuing to key OKC’s attack. The Mavericks mounted a comeback as Dončić and Kyrie Irving finally found their offensive rhythm in the fourth.
