Welcome to Opposition Intel!
The Milwaukee Bucks had their winning streak snapped by the Houston Rockets in Texas last night, but should still enter tonight’s game against the Boston Celtics carrying a lot of momentum.
Despite being comfortably behind for almost the entirety of the game, Milwaukee pulled back within a couple of possessions of the Rockets as the game entered its final stages.
Although they couldn’t quite see it through to complete the comeback, the Bucks showed their usual fight and determination in competing to the death.
On top of that, Giannis Antetokounmpo set a new career high in points for the second straight game, and should enter tonight’s matchup with Boston brimming with confidence.
