The Milwaukee Bucks return home on Monday night was filled with plenty of positives, just ultimately not the result. The Bucks were able to hold DeMar DeRozan to zero points on the night, while although Kyle Lowry eventually got going, 8/25 was far from an efficient night from the field.

It was the Bucks’ defense that was key to allowing them to hang tough, as they did an excellent job against a team who are one of the best offensively in the league. A strong push in the final quarter gave them every chance to pick up the victory, but six fourth quarter turnovers and a couple of blown late opportunities would prove costly.
