Welp. Let’s just say that when your opponent hits 24 threes and comes one 3-pointer away from tying the single game NBA record, your chances of winning the game diminish — severely. That’s exactly what happened at the Bradley Center last night, as the Bucks fumbled away an opportunity to head into the All-Star Break on a high note. They lost to the Denver Nuggets, 134-123.
Denver wasted no time in getting started. The first quarter featured them pouring in a piping hot 65 percent from the floor, which was good enough to provide them a 35-28 lead after one.
