The Hindu  

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 26 points, grabbed 18 rebounds and dished 10 assists to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to the NBA Cup title with a 97-81 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday. The bucket came directly following back-to-back technical fouls on Thunder forward Luguentz Dort and coach Mike Daigneault, leading to two free throws that Lillard sank. Hartenstein paced the Thunder with 14 points on 5-of-5 shooting in the half, despite earning a technical foul after a dust-up with Bucks guard Andre Jackson Jr. Lillard promptly answered, scoring seven of Milwaukee’s point Bucks as it went on a 13-4 run to take its first lead with 3:26 remaining in the first quarter.
