Eight teams made the knockout stage after round-robin group play that involved all 30 NBA teams in the league's second annual in-season tournament. The Magic, Knicks, Mavericks and Warriors were knocked out in the quarterfinals earlier in the week.

The league has gone out of its way for two decades now to assert a commitment to Las Vegas, ever since the start of the locally based NBA Summer League. It’s not ending any time soon.

The matchup for the 2024 NBA Cup Final is set. The Milwaukee Bucks will take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in Las Vegas for the opportunity to be crowned the second-ever champions of the NBA's in-season tournament.
