What a thriller. In overtime, the Bucks squeezed by the Nets 120-119. With another 40+ point (44 to be exact) effort, Giannis Antetokounmpo is now the Bucks’ all-time leading scorer with 14,216 points. At 48-28, Milwaukee sits a half-game behind Miami for the East’s top seed and clinches a postseason birth with the W. Brooklyn now finds itself in a three-way tie with Charlotte and Atlanta, two games behind Cleveland in the play-in region. Kevin Durant led the Nets with 26.
Both teams combined to miss their first nine attempts from the floor until Bruce Brown’s dunk just over two minutes into the game.
