Giannis and his Bucks teammates speak on game-winning shot over Pacers
Giannis Antetokounmpo and his Milwaukee Bucks teammates speak on his game-winning shot over Pacers on Nov. 3, 2025 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
NBA Cup pool play begins for the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday, Nov. 7 at Fiserv Forum and betting on the team to earn a spot in the final four the last two seasons has been a wise investment.
The Bucks have yet to lose in NBA pool play, going 8-0. But as they begin defense of their 2024 NBA Cup title, keeping that streak alive could be challenging.
The surprising Chicago Bulls, with the best record in the Eastern Conference at 6-1, are the first Group C pool play opponent for the Bucks.
The Bulls won their first five games and rallied from a 24-point deficit Nov. 5 to defeat the Philadelphia 76ers, 113-111, on Nikola Vucevic’s three-pointer with 3.2 seconds left. Guard Josh Giddey had his second consecutive triple-double (29 points, 15 rebounds, 12 assists) in the victory. Michael Jordan was the last Bulls player to have back-to-back triple doubles, in the 1988-89 season.
The Bucks are 3-3 over their last six games, including wins over the Golden State Warriors and New York Knicks. The Knicks are also in in Group C and have already lost to the Bulls in pool play. They host the Bucks later this month. Milwaukee also will visit Miami and play Charlotte at home in group competition.
The Bucks are seeking a third straight trip to Las Vegas. They lost to the Indiana Pacers in the semifinals of the 2023 event.
