LAS VEGAS (AP) — The NBA Cup championship game is Tuesday night in Las Vegas, with the Milwaukee Bucks taking on the Oklahoma City Thunder. It’s a game that only counts for tournament purposes. There’s about $300,000 in additional bonus money for players on the winning team, but the win, the loss and the statistics from the game won’t count toward the regular season. Each of the other 66 games played during the tournament counted in the standings and stats.
Pregame at 7pm. Tipoff at 7:30pm on AM1240 and 96.5FM.
