The box shoot for their first NBA cup title when they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight
in Las Vegas. Tip off a schedule for 7.30, two Milwaukee starters missed the team practice yesterday.
Damian Lillard was getting treatment for a calf contusion, but he says he will play in the
in-season tournament championship game. Chris Middleton was sick, and his availability will be
determined before tip off tonight. Damian Lillard and Yana Santericoopo, the highest scoring duo on a
team in the NBA, here's their Coach Doc Rivers. Just a two-man game to trust, you know, I think people
think it's easy, just you two just go play together. The problem with both of them is they're both
great scores, so every option in their mind is the option instead of getting to the next option,
and now they're working sets, they're involving other people into the sets, and I think that's
really helps us. Doc was asked if he likes the prospect of the NBA cup championship this point
in the season. That's been great. This this cup, you know, I liked it last year as a broadcaster.
I love it more as a coach. I think it's good for our league, and there is things you learned,
I just can't tell you what they are, but you don't get to get this experience during a regular season.
This will help us. This will help open the home and Atlanta Houston. Everybody that was here,
it's going to help us later. Last night in the NBA, a win for Philadelphia over Charlotte,
121, 108, Detroit beat Miami, 125, 124, and over time, Cleveland, 130, Brooklyn, 101, Chicago,
122, Toronto, 121, Denver over Sacramento, 131, 29, and the Clippers beat Utah, 144, 107.
The performance of Packer's linebacker, Edger and Cooper Sunday night,
shows that he can do what the team intended him to do. He led Green Bay with seven tackles, two
tackles for loss, one sack, two quarterback hits, two past offenses, and an interception.
Head coach Matt LaFloris says the rookie is just scratching the surface of what he can become.
Cooper admits the last three games with a hamstring injury.
Marquette takes on its Big E's conference schedule, and Butler visits the Pfizer forum tomorrow.
The Golden Eagles are rated number nine in this week's college basketball pole,
with a record of nine and two. Coach Shachat Smart's team has wins over top 15 opponents,
Purdue and Wisconsin, and top programs like Georgia and Maryland. Yukon is favored to win the
conference. Marquette was picked for also looking at football from last night. Aaron Jones and
Cam Acres had touchdown runs in the second half. The complement of smothering performance by the
Minnesota defense and the Vikings moved into a first place tie for the NFC North lead by beating
the Bears 30 to 12 for their seventh consecutive victory. Justin Jefferson had seven catches for
73 yards and a touchdown from Sam Darnold in the first quarter. The Vikings are 12 and 10,
matching Detroit atop the division. The Bears took their eighth straight loss and fell to four and 10.
If the Atlanta Falcons are going to make a playoff push, coach Rahim Morris and quarterback
Cousins both know the 13 year veteran needs to improve his play over the last three games of
the season. Cousins was a lackluster, 11 of 17 passing for 112 yards and one touchdown and an
interception during last night's 59 victory over the lowly Las Vegas Raiders. I'm Phil Ne that's
an update on Tuesday morning sports.
