Welcome to Opposition Intel!
Following Sunday’s tough loss to Atlanta, the Milwaukee Bucks fell short once again in Monday’s matchup with Chicago. As a result, tonight’s game with the Philadelphia 76ers represents a game they can’t really afford to lose.
The Sixers roll into the BMO Harris Bradley Center tonight as undisputed underdogs, but that doesn’t mean the Bucks can take their foot off the gas.
Philadelphia’s players regularly show up with an energy that makes them a tougher prospect than their opponent expects, and tonight is likely to be no different.
