In their first game of the second half of the season, the Bucks were unable to get the job done against the Brooklyn Nets, falling by a score of 126-123.
Coach Bud would feature quite a heavy rotation in the opening quarter, as he went 11 players deep. Both the Bucks and Nets would trade buckets, but seven points late in the quarter from Giannis Antetokounmpo paced Milwaukee ahead by five going into the second quarter, 32-25.
Bobby Portis would continue to hit threes throughout the second quarter. Going into halftime, he had connected on four of them.
