Despite a spirited second half comeback, the Milwaukee Bucks couldn’t make up for their troubling first half in a 121-117 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Friday night.
The Bucks were thrashed in the first half, but tightened the screws to cut a 22-point deficit down to one in the waning minutes. Holding them to 45% shooting on the night wasn’t enough because they gave up 18 offensive rebounds.
Both starting frontlines were the headliners tonight; Jabari Parker led the Bucks with a double-double - 27 points (24 in the second half), 11 rebounds and 4 assists.
