The Milwaukee Bucks have officially rebounded after a tough start to the 2024 season.

The team took home the 2024 NBA Cup on Tuesday night in a 97-81 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Las Vegas on Tuesday night, giving Milwaukee some much-needed momentum going back into the regular season.

After the game, Bucks superstars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard shared a really sweet moment on the court to celebrate such a hard-fought run in this year's NBA Cup tournament.

The two gave each other a big, long hug, and you could tell what a relief it was for both of these outstanding NBA players to get this tournament win.
