To say the Milwaukee Bucks asserted their dominance would be an understatement as they compiled a 119-98 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers Saturday night at Fiserv Forum.
The Bucks raced out to a quick double-digit lead that caused 76ers head coach Brett Brown to call timeout nearly three minutes into the opening quarter. While Philly awoke from their slumbering start, the Bucks remained in control with a 31-21 lead at the end of one.
Philadelphia responded with their most threatening run early on in the second quarter, which helped them come within 1 of the Bucks near the eight-minute mark in the second.
