Antetokounmpo says they will continue to play 'team basketball' for rest of season
LAS VEGAS - Giannis Antetokounmpo has always believed in teamwork, and throughout the course of this National Basketball Association (NBA) Cup he has mentioned the term "team basketball" a couple of times.
Working well together paid off for the Milwaukee Bucks on Dec 17, as they silenced the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second half to win the second edition of the in-season tournament with a 97-81 victory in Las Vegas.
Two-time NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) Antetokounmpo delivered a triple-double of 26 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists along with two steals and three blocks for the Bucks, who drilled 17 three-pointers to complete an unbeaten run and follow in the footsteps of the Los Angeles Lakers as NBA Cup champions.
Damian Lillard added 23 points for Milwaukee, who held the potentially explosive Thunder offense to 31 points in the second half at the T-Mobile Arena.
"That's who we are," Antetokounmpo said of the Bucks' second-half dominance, which saw them push a one-point lead at halftime to as many as 20.
