LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CBS 58) -- Giannis and company are victorious in Vegas, bringing the NBA Cup back to Milwaukee with a 97-81 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Giannis led the way with a triple-double that included 26 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists. Damian Lillard added 23 as the Bucks neutralized the Thunder with 17 3's in a dominant victory.

The Bucks players will come back home with $514,971 apiece. The Thunder players far less, $205,988 each.

But the win for Milwaukee, the loss for Oklahoma City and the statistics from the game won’t count toward the regular season.

Stuck near the bottom of the NBA after a 2-8 start, the Bucks have been scorching hot since.

This was Milwaukee's 13th win in their last 16 games, even though it won't be part of the official record.
