It wasn’t pretty for long stretches, but the Bucks held off the Nets last night at Barclays Center by a 129-125 final. Cam Thomas nearly set a career-high with 45 as the Bucks yet again struggled with a young, athletic guard, and Mikal Bridges poured in 31 of his own. Giannis Antetokoumpo had a 36/12 double-double to lead Milwaukee, including 14 in the fourth quarter, with Damian Lillard next up at 21.
Game Summary
Milwaukee played from behind for nearly all of the opening frame as they started out cold from deep, while Brooklyn found early success.
