SALT LAKE CITY— The Phoenix Suns showed why they are a championship contender in an easier-than-it-looked 120-112 win over the Utah Jazz.

Playing without future Hall of Famer Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal carried Phoenix past the Jazz in the first game of the Emirates NBA Cup 2024 for both teams.

How Does The NBA Cup Tournament Work?

The In-Season Tournament will feature all 30 NBA franchises competing to earn a spot in the eight-team single-elimination tournament.

Pool play consists of six five-team groups, separated by conference but not by the league’s existing divisions.

The winner of each group, plus two wildcard teams, will then advance to the eight-team single-elimination tournament.

The final four teams will complete the tournament at a neutral site in Las Vegas beginning December 7, with players on the winning team each earning $500,000.

The four Cup games will be counted toward a team’s regular season record.

Teams that advance to the finals of the NBA In-Season Tournament will play 83 regular-season games, while those already eliminated will continue to compete in traditional regular-season contests.
