The Milwaukee Bucks dropped a closely contested seeding contest against the Houston Rockets, 120-116.
Both teams went back and forth the entire game with both teams leading by double-digits at one point. It looked like the Bucks would come away with a victory as they held a seven-point advantage with two minutes to go, but credit to the Houston Rockets...they locked elevated their defense when it mattered most.
Three Observations
Giannis Antetokounmpo, as always, had little-to-no problems against the Rockets defense last night in the loss. He muscled his way to 36 points, 18 rebounds, eight assists, and one blocked shot in 33 minutes.
