We saw Brooklyn’s path to victory in the Eastern Conference semifinals on Tuesday night as Kevin Durant erupted and the Nets canned 16 threes in a 114-108 win. Milwaukee’s blueprint may be less aesthetically pleasing, but it was on full display on Thursday in a series-saving 104-89 home victory.
Milwaukee’s win on Thursday wasn’t exactly an offensive symphony. The Bucks hit just seven of 33 threes as a team, including a 1-for-10 mark from Jrue Holiday. The third quarter featured the worst of Milwaukee’s offense, when the game devolved into a stream of isolations and late-shot clock jumpers.
