The 2024 NBA Cup continued on Friday night and what a night of wild action it brought with 11 games on the slate. We had a 60-point game, a game-winning shot and block, and the third-longest winning streak to begin a season extended.

Hachimura is sidelined with a sprained right ankle, with rookie Dalton Knecht taking his spot in the starting lineup and Max Christie expected to rejoin the rotation.

LeBron James had 15 points, 16 rebounds and 12 assists and the Los Angeles Lakers opened defense of their Emirates NBA Cup title with a 120-115 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night.

The Oklahoma City Thunder dominated the Phoenix Suns with a 99-83 win. OKC kicked off its 2024 NBA Cup group slate with a 1-0 record. The Thunder built a 29-14 lead after the first quarter. They ballooned that to a 48-36 halftime lead.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 28 points to lead the host Oklahoma City Thunder to a 99-83 win over the Phoenix Suns on Friday in an NBA Cup matchup.

Donovan Mitchell scored a season-high 37 points, Darius Garland had 29 and the Cleveland Cavaliers continued one of the best starts in league history, improving to 14-0 with a 144-126 win over the Chicago Bulls on Friday night in an NBA Cup game.

The Bulls left New York feeling good about their chances to hand the unbeaten Cavs their first loss of the season. Too many breakdowns and too much Donovan Mitchell, however, doomed that plan.
