It wasn’t pretty for either team until the waning minutes of the contest, but the Milwaukee Bucks certainly had a chance to steal a game against the Golden State Warriors even without Giannis Antetokounmpo in the lineup. But alas, they didn’t have the firepower to keep up with Steph Curry as Milwaukee fell 116-125.
A rockfight broke out for both teams for the initial half of the first period, but they started heating up until Milwaukee went into the second down 26-28. It was looking like Milwaukee’s cold shooting might doom it to a steeper halftime disadvantage, but a late run helped them push it to just a 50-49 Warriors lead.
