The Milwaukee Bucks were looking to rebound after a disappointing Christmas day loss. The Bucks stayed in New York City, playing in Brooklyn to take on the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets had played the previous night, narrowly defeating the Detroit Pistons.
Game Summary
Despite resting three starters, Brooklyn kept things close against the Bucks in the first quarter. Milwaukee could shoot the ball well from three to jump-start their offense, but Brooklyn could feast in the restricted area to keep the game within reach, and Milwaukee ended the first quarter 32-31.
