Just Move On

This is definitely the most important takeaway from the action on Tuesday: forget the action on Tuesday (after you read our fantastic grades article, of course.)

As ugly as the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder was, it was just one game out of an 82 game regular season. The Bucks are still holding the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference, and they’re just two games away from clinching a winning record and a playoff spot.

To be honest, there’s no way that the Basketball Gods were going to let Russell Westbrook reach a historic NBA record in an all-time petty season without giving him a great win for it. This one was ordained.

Hopefully the Bucks shake this one off, aside from using their embarrassing defeat as motivation to work even harder to close the season off. On the bright side, at least Giannis and Khris Middleton got to get some rest in garbage time.
