Finale

The Bucks barely managed to beat a tanking Lakers team on Friday, and now they need to play the first-place Warriors on Saturday. That’s not an easy weekend for Milwaukee!

Luckily the Bucks always seem to play Golden State close. Teams that rely on a lot of motion offense and passing can get thrown off by Milwaukee’s length, especially if the other team likes to do some flashy passing.

Nobody throws more questionably-flashy passes than Stephen Curry. Curry hasn’t been himself lately, and Milwaukee might have a chance to pull out an upset on Saturday night if he stays in his current slump.
