Bucks knock out Magic, advance to NBA Cup semifinals

MILWAUKEE -- The Bucks are heading to Las Vegas for the second consecutive season, beating the Orlando Magic 114-109 on Tuesday night to advance to the semifinals of the NBA Cup.

The Bucks will be the only team returning to Las Vegas, where they lost last December in the semifinals of the in-season tournament. Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo said the team has some "unfinished business" from last season.

"Losing is not a good feeling," Antetokounmpo said after Tuesday's game. "But we definitely learned from it."

Jalen Suggs led a shorthanded Magic team to a near upset without stars Paolo Banchero or Franz Wagner.
