After a sensational start to the NBA 2K League regular season, Bucks Gaming had every reason to feel confident entering the second tournament event of the year.
That fast start ensured the Bucks entered The Turn, which is taking place in Las Vegas rather than the usual New York City studio, as the fourth seed and with a real chance of making some noise.
That seeding also guaranteed the Bucks avoided a play-in round that the lower seeds were forced to work through, meaning Milwaukee’s campaign in Vegas got underway on Friday night in the first round.
