In what could potentially be a rematch later this summer, the Milwaukee Bucks dismantled the visiting Los Angeles Clippers, 119-91. The winning streak has now reached 14 games.
With both teams shooting ice cold from the floor to begin this one (an icy 0-for-6 from deep for Milwaukee), a spark needed to be found. For Milwaukee, that’d be their bench. Five straight threes (including two from Pat Connaughton) would kickstart their shooting and send them on a 19-2 run. Khris Middleton would find the hot hand in the opening minutes, wrapping up the quarter with 10 points. That’d help send Milwaukee on the way to a 15 point advantage moving into the second at 30-15.
