So much for that 1-6 start.
The Milwaukee Bucks are now your NBA Cup champions. The Bucks faced a Thunder team pegged by many as NBA title favorites and secured a one-sided 97-81 win Tuesday night in the NBA Cup championship game in Las Vegas.
The victory capped a 7-0 Bucks run in NBA Cup play that reasserted their stance as contenders in the Eastern Conference. Milwaukee has now won 14 out 20 games since its slow start and improved to 14-11 to get back on the right side of the Eastern Conference standings.
Tuesday's win doesn't count in the standings.
