In recent weeks, the Denver Nuggets have not been playing as well as they did to start the season. However, even with the Nuggets not playing well lately, that did not mean this would be an easy game for the Milwaukee Bucks. Denver came out of the gates well, while the Milwaukee did not, meaning they were lucky to be only down 10 at half.
Paul Millsap was not as effective as he was in the last game between these two teams eight days ago. There were likely some adjustments made in between games by the coaching staff, as in the first game he looked unstoppable and on Monday you barely noticed he was on the floor.
