NBA Cup 2024: Three big questions ahead of the Bucks-Thunder championship game

Yahoo Sports

83% Informative

The 2024 Emirates NBA Cup is all that’s left when the game matters most.

The Oklahoma City Thunder and the Milwaukee Bucks will meet in the final.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are the two teams vying for the crown.

Andre Jackson Jr. is one of just seven players in the entire NBA to rank in the 98th percentile or higher in both average matchup difficulty and perimeter isolation defense.

The Thunder will need every ounce of that swarming, suffocating, smothering defensive effort to slow down Giannis Antetokounmpo .

Milwaukee enters the final ranked 17th in points allowed per possession outside of garbage time.

The Thunder’s defensive philosophy relies on relentless ball pressure in an effort to force turnovers.

The Bucks, on the other hand, rely more on skill and execution than bounce and explosion.

The NBA Cup championship game is the only one in the entire Emirates NBA Cup tournament that won’t also count toward participants’ regular-season records and statistics.
