The Milwaukee Bucks faced an Oklahoma City team without half its roster, but they gamely tried their best to keep up with the champions. Ultimately, the Bucks had far too much firepower, as they score a new season-high 142 against OKC’s 115 to grab their fifth straight win before facing Atlanta in Fiserv Forum on Wednesday night.
The Bucks opened this one with a certain level of, um, apathy I would say, defensively but they certainly didn’t slag off offensively as they poured in 39 against the Thunder’s 34 after one. Fireworks continued in the second period, punctuated by a buzzer-beating triple from Giannis Antetokounmpo to put Milwaukee up 76-65 at halftime.
