Darvin Ham is still perfect in the NBA Cup.. it’s confirmed now; he’s the lucky charm for the Bucks.
The big difference here is that the Bucks dominated in most the key areas. Just look at the stats.

I looked at the best three-point shooting teams currently, and the Thunder is at the bottom 15. They're at 17th apparently and that just shows that they aren't a threat when it comes to three-point shooting. Despite a bad night in three-point, they continued to shoot and ended in 5/32 which is awful. Probably the fact that they have Giannis and Brook on the paint is one reason why they are opting to shoot from three instead of going inside. Nevertheless, the Bucks players are now happy as they all earned at around $500,000 each.
Let's see. But according to the standings, the Bucks need to work even harder to get to the top again. After all, teams such as the Cavs and Celtics have gotten far away from other teams in terms of win rate.
However, the Bucks deserve praise anyway because they did really well in that game, and Giannis got another trophy in his collection.
Bucks need to carry this momentum all throughout the season if they want to be a title contender.
