Fresh from hoisting the NBA (National Basketball Association) Cup, the Milwaukee Bucks are set to re-emerge on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Dec 20 (Dec 21, Singapore time).
The Bucks spent much of the past week in Las Vegas, defeating the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA Cup semi-finals before beating the Oklahoma City Thunder 97-81 on Dec 17 to secure the second-ever NBA Cup.
Giannis Antetokounmpo earned Most Valuable Player honors with a triple-double of 26 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists in the championship game. Damian Lillard added 23 points for Milwaukee.
"It's great for our team. We're playing good basketball, we trust in one another," Antetokounmpo said, looking forward to the games ahead.
"I'm so proud of this group. Most importantly, we were competing defensively. Job's not done. We have a lot of basketball in front of us."
