It may not have been the best Milwaukee Bucks performance of the preseason, but if you could choose just one preseason game in which to grab a win, the finale acts as the best chance to create some meaningful momentum.

Having been overwhelmed by dramatic runs from their opponents in the third quarter in their two previous outings, Wednesday’s game at the Bradley Center once again saw the Bucks present their opponents with an opening at that juncture.

On this occasion, the difference was that Milwaukee’s players ultimately weathered the storm and then slammed the door shut on the Pacers’ chances.
