NBA betting: Controversial last-second Bucks layup results in bad beat for Nets bettors

A controversial call at the end of the first half of Game 1 of the Brooklyn Nets versus Milwaukee Bucks Eastern Conference semifinal series resulted in a bad beat for some bettors.

The first-half spread was Nets -2 over at BetMGM. And if you put money on the Nets covering the two points going into halftime, you were sitting pretty when they took an 11-point lead with 3:22 left in the second quarter.

The lead for Brooklyn was eight points, 61-53, at the 1:57 mark and then seven points, 63-56, with 44.
