The 2024 NBA Cup semi-finals have officially been decided.
Following the conclusion of the quarter-finals, just four teams remain in the hunt for the elite men's basketball in-season tournament crown in North America.
The Atlanta Hawks, led by Trae Young, booked their place in the semis after rallying from a 10-point third-quarter deficit to beat the New York Knicks 108-100.
They were joined by the Houston Rockets after they edged out the Golden State Warriors 91-90 in a bitter battle for the line. Turkïye's Alperen Sengun banked 26 points and 11 rebounds to snap the Rockets' 15-game losing streak against the Warriors.

Following the brackets, the Bucks will meet the Hawks in the first of the semi-finals penned for Saturday 14 December with Oklahoma taking on the Rockets later in the evening.
