In a hard fought game, the Milwaukee Bucks edged the New Orleans Pelicans 117-113 Tuesday night. With that, we take a look at what worked and what didn’t work for the Bucks in the win.
They may have needed all 48 minutes, but the Milwaukee Bucks came out with a nail biting victory over the New Orleans Pelicans Tuesday night, winning 117-113.
The win-which marks the first victory for the Bucks in New Orleans since January 27, 2003- was a true collective effort. When it was all said and done, the Bucks had six players scoring in double figures and even a few others managed to make an impact in other ways, in spite of shots not falling their way.
While it may have been their most cohesive victory of the young season, that certainly doesn’t mean it was perfect performance by any means.
