Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways From Win Over Brooklyn Nets
It was definitely too close for comfort, but the Milwaukee Bucks are now winners of their last four games, thanks to their win over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday evening.
Having already took care of them less than 48 hours ago, the Milwaukee Bucks once again upended the Brooklyn Nets for their third straight meeting, winning 112-103.
Although the Bucks ended up taking both games in their home-and-home series with the Nets, this time proved to be a much tougher contest than how Thursday night played out.

After going back and forth for the opening quarter, the Bucks started to take control of the game in the second quarter and led by as much as ten points at halftime.
Following the Bucks’ hot start in the second half, however, the Nets started to chip away at their lead, in large part to their three-point offense (8 of the Nets’ 11 threes for the night came in the second half).
Dwindling the lead down to three points at the end of the third, the Nets continued their three-point barrage to take control of the game not long after the start of the fourth quarter.
That forced Bucks head coach Jason Kidd‘s hand to turn to the team’s starters in hopes to take ahold of their game for good. That worked out well in the Bucks’ favor as they slowed down the Nets’ hot shooting while adding in some much needed scoring to put the finishing touches on the game.
So with that, let’s turn our attention to what, or more importantly, who stood the most in the Bucks victory over the Nets.
