Buck that.
Over the last 13 games for Brooklyn, 11 have been determined by six points or less. That wasn’t the case on Friday. The Milwaukee Bucks (24-22) defeated the Brooklyn Nets (18-31), 116-88, behind a huge first half and a 41-point night from Giannis Antetokounmpo.
It looked like it would be a blowout after the first half, but the Nets stayed persistent in the third.
They dug themselves in a big hole right from the beginning. They finished with their second-worst first quarter of the season with just 15 points on 5-of-23 shooting, 2-of-13 from three.
