Milwaukee may be kicking themselves some after this loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, 110-102. Even as a short handed team, the Sixers were missing key pieces of their own but ultimately the Bucks defense couldn’t get stops and their offense deserted them in the critical juncture of this one.
Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way from the early going, shaking off whatever rust was on him against Cleveland to pour in 11 points for a 34-24 advantage after one. The Bucks frontcourt continued an assault on the glass and the box score, with Bobby and Brook helping Giannis and company stake a 62-55 lead by halftime.
