The Milwaukee Bucks hosted an themed night for Australia Day on Wednesday at the Bradley Center, with Matthew Dellavedova bobbleheads, Australian slang lessons and a vegemite eating contest.
None of these sidelights were able to distract attention from another uneven effort by the Milwaukee Bucks, though.
The Bucks started the game strong, at least offensively, scoring 39 points. However, this was good for just a six point lead at the quarter break.
Philadelphia executed their offense very well in the quarter, but they stepped it up further in the second, when they matched Bucks first quarter total of 39 and outscored the Bucks by 20 points in the quarter, to take a 14 point lead into halftime.
