There was plenty of talk before, during, and after the Bucks' 12th road loss in a row.
Are the Bucks the only team in the NBA that would look better if they played the Warriors every night? Quite possibly!
While a rematch with the champs in Oakland ultimately delivered the assumed result -- the Warriors were favored by 19 points! -- the Bucks were astoundingly the better team for about 42 of 48 minutes on Friday night, leading by as many as 15 in the second half and 11 in the fourth quarter before eventually running out of gas against the relentless ball movement and limitless shooting of the defending champs.
