The Thunder nearly achieved NBA Cup glory, but they will now face the punishment for making it to the championship.  After Oklahoma City lost to the Milwaukee B

Alexander, who finished 8-of-24 from the floor, and the Thunder were off their game Tuesday night, posting a season low in points during a 97-81 loss to the resurgent Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Cup final in Las Vegas.

Brook Lopez and Gary Trent Jr. each scored 13 for the Bucks, who joined the Los Angeles Lakers as the only champions of the 2-year-old event. A 19-5 Milwaukee run in the second half turned what was a five-point game into a 19-point game early in the fourth, and the Bucks kept control the rest of the way.
