MILWAUKEE – Bones Hyland didn’t need the ball to dance Sunday night.
As Hyland watched the Nuggets punish the defending champion Bucks with selfless ball-movement, uncanny 3-point shooting and a fifth consecutive win, the jovial rookie two-stepped to himself on Denver’s sideline.
It could’ve been for any one of the 23 3-pointers the Nuggets cashed in their 136-100 rout of the Bucks. Hyland did his bop more than once. It was the same joy Hyland exuded before the game when he polished off a set of push-ups and then flexed for anyone who was watching.
“I feel as though sometimes players forget to have fun with the game,” he told The Post after dropping 13 points, dishing six assists and draining three 3-pointers of his own.
