The Milwaukee Bucks are back in the win column. They’d cruise to a 126-106 victory over the Houston Rockets.
In the start of the game that featured the 15th different starting lineup in 33 games for the Bucks, there’d be a bit of sluggishness for Milwaukee. The Rockets would come out shooting hotter than the Bucks (38.1% to 32%), but down the stretch, Milwaukee would close things out. A Pat Connaughton 3-pointer on the Bucks’ final possession gave them a lead that they’d secure into the second quarter, 25-24.
The Bucks would embark on a massive 15-0 run midway through the second quarter, with the highlight of it being Jordan Nwora breaking Armoni Brooks’ ankles on a step-back 3-pointer.
