For the first time in league history, four teams will officially advance to the semifinals of the NBA’s In-Season Tournament in Las Vegas.
The winning team will receive this beautiful trophy and each player will earn an additional $500,000. We’ve already had a chance to watch some amazing basketball and that should only continue as the next round of the tournament begins.

The quarterfinals were held on Dec. 4 and 5 and the winners advanced to the semifinals in Las Vegas on Dec. 7.

This is what the brackets look like when the four teams take the court in Las Vegas on Thursday:
