The Milwaukee Bucks continued to struggle without 2/5 of their starting lineup, falling 101-94 against the Washington Wizards on the first leg of a lengthy roadtrip. A poor shooting first quarter led to just a two-point deficit after the initial period for Milwaukee. A 52-49 game at halftime was mostly due to 44% shooting from deep on both sides, and equal scoring across most of Milwaukee’s starters. Bud’s team battled back after allowing Washington to pull ahead in the third, but couldn’t quite stave off the Wizards scoring and overcome their gaffes late.
