Taking down an expected Conference Finals contender following two lackluster showings to open the season was equally impressive and unforeseen for the Brooklyn Nets and their new head coach Jordi Fernández, It was also his first career win in the big chair and the Nets first home win as well.
Today, however, with both teams meeting in the same spot roughly a month and a half later, the Nets and Bucks did what the script called for. Milwaukee took home the dub, beating Brooklyn via a last ditch comeback by a 118-113 final score.
Alas, that doesn’t mean the story of today’s game was without unexpected twists and turns.
