Finale

This game should be a fun one for Milwaukee Bucks fans. The Bucks aren’t a clearly better team than the Thunder, but after an ugly loss on Sunday there’s no doubt Milwaukee will be motivated to come out strong and win against the Thunder.

The game being on ESPN only makes that better. It’s sad Bucks fans won’t get their great broadcasters on the game, but the national telecasts do a great job too and players seem to have a little more pep in their step for these games.

With the season winding down, another test against a playoff-bound team should be good for the Bucks to get themselves ready for the first round in the Eastern Conference. Plus, it’s always fun to watch Russell Westbrook play.
