The matchup for the 2024 NBA Cup Final is set. The Milwaukee Bucks will take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in Las Vegas for the opportunity to be crowned the second-ever champions of the NBA's in-season tournament. The winning side will receive a significant cash prize and a banner to hang in their home arena, assuming they follow in the footsteps of the inaugural Cup champion Los Angeles Lakers.

The Bucks held off the Atlanta Hawks in the semifinal, 110-102, thanks to yet another majestic performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak put up 32 points, 14 rebounds, and nine assists, his fifth straight 30-point performance. The biggest highlight of his day came on the defensive end, when he recreated his epic 2021 NBA Finals block by rejecting an alley-oop attempt in a manner impossible for anyone except Antetokounmpo.
