The Milwaukee Bucks and Oklahoma City Thunder are headed to Las Vegas for the NBA Cup semifinals. There are two more semifinal slots that will be decided Wednesday, when the New York Knicks play the Atlanta Hawks and the Houston Rockets play the Golden State Warriors. The championship game is on Dec. 17. The NBA Cup was called the In-Season Tournament last year when it debuted, after years and years of Commissioner Adam Silver wanting to add something extra to the regular season.
