Look up the word defeat in the dictionary. You won’t find Joe Prunty’s picture there. The party in Milwaukee continued as the Bucks strung together their fourth straight win, knocking off the Philadelphia 76ers by a 107-95 score.
Immediately after tip-off commenced, the Sixers went to work down low — and work they did. Their attack in the paint gave Milwaukee some major fits in the opening minutes. Somehow, the Bucks entered the second quarter down just two at 30-28. That’d flip-flop when halftime came around, with Milwaukee maintaining a 55-53 advantage.
A flurry of threes towards the end of the third would boost Milwaukee’s lead to eight at 83-75 heading into the final 12 minutes of action.
