Finale

The Milwaukee Bucks need to win a game soon. A fully-healthy Utah Jazz team is hardly the ideal opponent for a game that needs to be won, but unfortunately for the Bucks they can’t do much about the teams they’re matched up against.

What Milwaukee can do is come out and play the right kind of basketball. The Bucks are averaging 1.5 less assists per game over this losing streak than they did over the first 38 games of the season.

That number isn’t huge, but it is indicative of the Bucks playing less pass-happy basketball lately. More energy and more passing could help Milwaukee get back to winning ways.
