The Milwaukee Bucks are on fire, crushing the Detroit Pistons 128-107 to secure their seventh consecutive win. This commanding victory wasn’t just another game; it marked the Bucks’ undefeated sweep of Group B, sealing their spot in the NBA Cup quarterfinals. With Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard leading the charge, Milwaukee is proving why they’re hailed as NBA’s Most Lethal Duo, striking fear into opponents and solidifying their reputation as the league’s most dangerous team right now.
The NBA’s Most Lethal Duo
The Greek Freak, Giannis, was unstoppable, landing 10 out of 11 shots in a mere 28 minutes before taking a well-deserved rest in the fourth quarter. Lillard, his partner in crime, continued to shine, showing fans exactly why this duo could be Milwaukee’s ticket to championship glory. Meanwhile, contributions from Gary Trent Jr., Bobby Portis, and Taurean Prince ensured the Bucks maintained their dominance from start to finish.
Detroit Crumbles Under Pressure
Detroit’s Cade Cunningham delivered 23 points, while Tobias Harris chipped in 16, but their efforts weren’t enough to fend off the Bucks’ relentless assault. Jalen Duren and Tim Hardaway Jr. tried to keep Detroit afloat but were outmatched by Milwaukee’s offensive power. After this crushing defeat, the Pistons’ NBA Cup dreams came to a screeching halt.
Suns’ Night of Ups and Downs
The Phoenix Suns showcased resilience with a 104-93 win over the San Antonio Spurs. Devin Booker stole the spotlight with 29 points, surpassing a career milestone of 15,000 points. However, Kevin Durant’s ankle injury midway through the game cast a shadow over their victory. Despite their valiant efforts, the Suns’ NBA Cup hopes were dashed when the Mavericks edged out Memphis in a thrilling comeback.
Dallas Mavericks: The Comeback Kings
Speaking of comebacks, the Mavericks’ 121-116 triumph over Memphis was nothing short of spectacular. Luka Dončić was the star of the show, racking up 37 points and 12 rebounds. Spencer Dinwiddie’s back-to-back threes in the dying moments sealed the deal, while P.J. Washington Jr. added the cherry on top. Memphis’ Ja Morant scored a season-high 31 points but couldn’t prevent the Grizzlies’ elimination.
