Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard shared a really sweet embrace after winning the NBA Cup
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.
Things weren't looking so great for the Bucks earlier in the season, but the team is 14-11 and very much a contender in the Eastern Conference. That's worth embracing over if you're Milwaukee.
