In a chippy, physical outing, the Philadelphia 76ers were able to overcome the Bucks and break Milwaukee’s winning streak with a 133-130 victory.
Hot shooting and clean basketball defined the first quarter for both teams. Milwaukee’s firepower came from Bobby Portis, who was a force on both ends of the ball in a major way. His seven points along with Brook Lopez’s eight in the opening frame fueled the Bucks, who found themselves in a tie game all knotted up at 29 apiece going into the second.
Despite their 3-point shooting falling off a bit in the second quarter, the Bucks made up for it in other areas.
