For their first loss of the season, the Portland Trail Blazers dropped a nail-biter to the Milwaukee Bucks.
In a back-and-forth game, most of the action happened after half.
CJ McCollum kept the Blazers close in the first half; they trailed by just five despite Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 21 points.
The five-point deficit could have been worse too; Portland shot 40% from the field and scored just ten points in the paint.
The third quarter followed the previous two – numerous lead changes with no advantage to either team.
Halfway in and behind two quick defensive fouls, the Bucks jumped out to a six-point lead.
