It was a bit of a dull start for Milwaukee, as at one point, they were on pace for just eight points in the opening quarter. However, the offense quickly soaked through, and the Bucks exploded for 30 points and a seven point lead moving onto the second period.
A 31-9 run fueled the good guys in the second quarter, as they broke through with relative ease. It reminded me of the quote from the legendary floor general Michael Scott, who once called basketball “a game of jazz.” That’s what the Bucks mimicked, as crisp pass after crisp pass setup ample shots.
