When you’re the beneficiaries of a historical matchup as recently lopsided as Bucks-Sixers has been, you take making Philly look clownish on their home court for granted. Winners of the last eight out of nine games played between these two, the Bucks looked set to make it nine of 10 with a relatively strong offensive first half. Then Philadelphia adjusted. Then they started swarming Giannis. Then Giannis reverted to the mean of his career-low FT% season. Then the Sixers spammed the same Joel Embiid P&R action four straight possessions and scored in each. Then the Bucks lost.
