Milwaukee Bucks: 3 takeaways from 114-108 Game 5 loss to Brooklyn Nets

Jun 15, 2021; Brooklyn, New York, USA (Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports)

Well, we can add another painful Game 5 loss to recent Milwaukee Bucks history.

The Bucks fell to the Brooklyn Nets in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference Semifinals series that ended in a 114-108 victory in favor of Brooklyn that now puts them up 3-2 in the series as it shifts back to Milwaukee for Game 6.

Of course, the loss comes after the Bucks had held as big of a 17-point lead early in the third quarter, to which the Nets then responded with their second half comeback to absolutely dissect and decimate the Bucks in ways that have felt too familiar over the Mike Budenholzer era.
