MILWAUKEE—Mired in their worst skid of the season at the worst possible time, the Milwaukee Bucks need an answer in the Eastern Conference final.
A lineup change didn’t provide one, so the Bucks have to come up with something else in Toronto.
The Bucks returned to the starting five they used most of the season in Game 5, the lineup that helped them to the NBA’s best record. But they were left with the same result as the third and fourth games and now face elimination when the series resumes Saturday.
Guard Malcolm Brogdon finished with 18 points, 11 rebounds and six assists Thursday in his first start since returning from a foot injury in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinal against the Boston Celtics.
