Even amid key absences and limited minutes for multiple key players, the Milwaukee Bucks were dealt a stunning 119-116 loss by the Brooklyn Nets Tuesday afternoon.
Heading into the day as the overwhelming favorite, the prevailing thought was that the rich got richer with the Bucks having Eric Bledsoe and Pat Connaughton on hand for the first time since arriving to Orlando. That even came with both Brook Lopez and Wesley Matthews missing from the starting lineup.
But as they say, the game isn’t played on paper and all day long, the Nets held off the Bucks as much as they could and tried to beat them at their own game, albeit with some key differences.
