In the second game of a home-and-home for the Brooklyn Nets versus the Bucks, Isaiah Whitehead came into the contest with 22 assists and 10 turnovers in the last six games, which were all starts for the rookie. Anthony Bennett made his first start as a Brooklyn Net, his first start since February 20, 2015, and his fourth overall in his NBA career due to Trevor Booker not playing because of illness.
Bennett came out energetic in the first quarter and played like he was trying to steal the starting spot from Booker, cleaning up on the glass.
