Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks will return to Las Vegas for the semifinals of the NBA Cup for the second straight season. The Bucks lost to the Indiana Pacers last season and Antetokounmpo says the Bucks have some “unfinished business.”
“Losing is not a good feeling,” Antetokounmpo said after Tuesday’s game. “But we definitely learned from it.”
The Bucks were 15-6 last season when they advanced to Las Vegas, but there were fissures with the team that led to the firing of Adrian Griffin in January. This season, the Bucks started slow but are now 13-11.
“Last year there was a lot of expectations on our team,” Bobby Portis said after scoring 22 points. “It’s more special in that regard because of where we started to where we are now.”
