Bucks fans attend Deer District watch party, cheer team on in NBA Cup Championship

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- While the Bucks took on the Oklahoma City Thunder in Las Vegas Tuesday night, some fans here at home cheered on Giannis and the rest of the crew. 

Right across from Fiserv Forum, fans caught the game at Mecca, with its massive 42-foot screen. 

We caught up with a few fans who tell us this in-season tournament is making them feel better about the team after a rocky start to the season.

"I'm excited, cause we made it, ya know? We started off the season real bad, but you know...look at where we at right now," said Fenay Gates.

Fenay was at the Mecca celebrating his wife Yolanda's birthday while cheering on the team. That birthday magic helped bring the team some extra luck on the court.
