Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways from 127-115 loss to Denver Nuggets

The Milwaukee Bucks’ nine-game winning streak came to an ugly end Friday night as the Denver Nuggets handed them a 127-115 loss Friday night at Fiserv Forum.

With the Bucks switching it up with Thanasis Antetokounmpo logging his first NBA start, the league’s best team threw quite the jab toward the sleepless Denver Nuggets by racing out in front to take an early lead. With little defense from both teams throughout the opening quarter, the Bucks held a 43-35 edge at the end of one.

The shootout vibe of the first quarter eventually subsided, and the Bucks maintained their hold on the Nuggets, who searched for ways to find a breakthrough.
