Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways from 121-108 loss to Utah Jazz

The Milwaukee Bucks failed to end their long-running losing streak on the road against the Utah Jazz, but what were the big takeaways from Saturday’s loss?

With the return of Giannis Antetokounmpo and John Henson to the starting lineup, the Milwaukee Bucks were looking to pull away from the .500 mark as they took on the Utah Jazz on Saturday night.

That was never going to be an easy task, though, as the Bucks had failed to beat the Jazz on their home court since an overtime win on the opening night of the 2001-02 season.

Unfortunately for Milwaukee, that streak is going to live on for another year at least.
