Nah FR because they always think they're doin' something... 🙃⁣⁣

 The NBA’s in-season tournament is wrapping up just in time for the holidays with tomorrow’s 8:30 p.m. ET winner-take-all NBA Cup finale that will feature a pair of No. 1 seeds: the Milwaukee Bucks and the Oklahoma City Thunder. 👀⁣
•⁣
The only question remaining is which of these star-studded squads will have the ace up their sleeve that earns each championship-winning player a cool $514.9K? 💰😮‍💨⁣
•⁣
🏀How it happened: The NBA’s ratings are down, but you wouldn’t know it from the raucous crowds waking up in Vegas after two action-packed semifinals. Saturday’s first game was the Giannis Antetokounmpo show as the two-time league MVP stuffed the stat sheet to lead the Bucks to a 110–102 win over the No. 3 seed Atlanta Hawks. 💪⁣
•⁣
Not to be outdone, OKC’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander exploded for 20 second-half points (of his 32 total) to top the No. 2 seed Houston Rockets 111–96 in the second semi. 🔥⁣
•⁣
🏆Superstars vie for NBA Cup crown: Both Antetokounmpo and Gilgeous-Alexander have been stellar this season, averaging 32.7 and 30.3 points, respectively. Expect more big numbers from both superstars in the final — that’s just what perennial MVP candidates do.⁣
•⁣
That means the difference in this one could be how effective the Bucks’ Damian Lillard can be against OKC’s league-leading defense. If Lillard can come up clutch once more, it might be just enough to dismantle the favored Thunder.⁣
