Third quarter shakes from Rockets teams past resurfaced in a defeat the Houston Rockets suffered at home to the Milwaukee Bucks 116-109. A six point halftime lead wilted for Houston under the Bucks defense and a staggering offense which may signal the end of a huge three week rush for James Harden and crew.
Milwaukee is tops in the Eastern Conference and the Greek Freak put forward a very efficient counterargument to the Harden MVP campaign. Despite no jaw dropping moments Giannis Antetokounmpo dropped an almost understated 27 points and 21 rebounds on just 8-16 shooting.
