Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways In Win Over Brooklyn Nets
The Milwaukee Bucks are winners of their last three straight games, with the latest coming last night over the Brooklyn Nets. We take a look at what stood the most in the victory.
The Milwaukee Bucks followed up their drubbing over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night with a win over the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday, winning 111-93.
Coming into the game, however, it was hard to predict what kind of game the Bucks would offer. After all, we’ve seen this story many times before where the Bucks follow up either a big win or spirited effort against a top team in the league with an uninspiring performance over a team you’d think they’d edge out.
There were certainly some signs of that all throughout the game as the Bucks didn’t operate on all cylinders like they did for much of the Cavs game.

Despite not being as sharp as they’re capable of being, the Bucks were still more than enough for a shorthanded Nets team to handle, one that especially crumbled over the course of the second half.
After giving them a run for their money for the entire first half of play, the Nets started to really fade about midway through the third quarter. That coincided with the Bucks starting to blow open the game, thanks to their potent offense from beyond the arc (more on that a little later).
Although it took longer than we all would have liked, the Bucks ultimately sealed the win in time for head coach Jason Kidd to get every one of his players some time on the court before it was all said and done. With the win, the Bucks now improve to 9-8, going above .500 for the first time in almost three weeks.
So with that, let’s break down what stood out the most for the Bucks in the victory over the Nets last night.
