In the final regular season game against a title-contender, the Brooklyn Nets fell just short of a needed win but it was a preview of what could come in the NBA Playoffs.
The final score: 120-119. With the loss, Brooklyn falls to 40-37 on the season while Milwaukee rises to 48-27. A contest that was filled with playoff intensity and riled up fans, the contest came down to the wire. Despite Khris Middleton getting ejected at the 5:05 mark of the fourth after a Flagrant 2 foul committed on Bruce Brown (season-high 23 points, five rebounds, three assists, one steal, and three blocks) during a fast break, the Bucks didn’t go away easily.
