Under his leadership, the Lakers boasted a flawless record during group play, going 4-0, and continued their dominant performance with three consecutive wins in the knockout rounds to clinch the title.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>This season, the tournament has been renamed the Emirates NBA Cup. The Bucks excelled in East Group B, notably defeating the Detroit Pistons in their last group match to proceed with a perfect 4-0 record into the knockout stages. On Tuesday, Milwaukee secured their spot in the last four after topping the Orlando Magic 114-109 in the quarterfinals, a victory that took place in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>With this latest win, Ham maintains an impeccable NBA Cup coaching record of 12-0, a unique achievement that no other coach has managed to replicate since Ham transitioned to the Bucks&#8217; coaching staff after his two-year tenure with the Lakers ended.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Darvin Ham is the only coach who has never lost an NBA Cup game  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NGcAA8WF2E\">pic.twitter.com\/NGcAA8WF2E<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BleacherReport\/status\/1866677075245142094?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 11, 2024<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>This remarkable streak, though specific, is significant enough over 12 games to be recognized as a noteworthy achievement. The Bucks are the first team to secure a place in the 2024 NBA Cup semifinals. They are now set to face the winner of the quarterfinals matchup between the Atlanta Hawks and the New York Knicks in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The Bucks are just two victories away from extending Ham\u2019s incredible streak for another season. Despite the challenges he faced with the Lakers, Ham continues to find motivation and success in the NBA Cup.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><strong>More of the Latest Around the
