In the finals of the tournament held during the season, the “Bucks” beat the Oklahoma City “Thunder” with a score of 97:81 (27:28, 24:22, 26:14, 20:17), joining the list of champions of the competition established last year after the Los Angeles Lakers.

Shay Gilges-Alexander scored 21 points and Jalen Williams had 18 for the Thunder. The Oklahoma City unit had scored at least 99 points in each of the previous games of this season, but today the shooting accuracy (34%), “Thunder” seriously conceded the points scored with long shots (15:51).
The outcome of the final game will not be counted in the balance of the teams’ regular tournament, nor will the performance of this match be counted in the individual statistics of the basketball players.
The Boston “Celtics” team represented by Kristaps Porzingis won three out of four games, took second place and did not enter the playoffs.
Last year, the Los Angeles “Lakers” basketball players became the first winners of the NBA Cup, beating the Indiana “Pacers” 123:109 in the final.
