In a matchup that featured James Harden vs. the MVP, the Bucks would cruise to a 108-94 victory, earning a season sweep of the Houston Rockets.
The anticipation for this one was definitely next-level. We all knew the storyline coming in — James Harden vs. the MVP. There wasn’t an empty seat in the arena, and the energy was palpable, making it really mirror a playoff atmosphere.
A cold shooting start would sputter the Bucks to start this one out. It’d take a little time for them to find the net, but thankfully, Houston didn’t inflict too much damage during the first quarter.
