After an ugly loss earlier in the year, the Milwaukee Bucks will hope to fare better on the road against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday.
The Milwaukee Bucks come into Friday’s game with the Oklahoma City Thunder after a stellar comeback win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, yet that doesn’t even tell half the story.
The joy of an NBA season is that 82 games allows a chance for a clean slate from night to night though, and after defeating one of the Western Conference’s best teams on Thursday, the Bucks will look to repeat that feat on Friday in a more conventional fashion.
After 4-2 start to the season, the Bucks were abuzz with positivity the last time they entered a game against the Thunder, before a 19-point loss quickly put paid to that.

While in that previous game between the teams at the Bradley Center the Thunder were still in the very early stages of figuring things out, the recent returns suggest they’ve now reached a point where they’re comfortable with their star-studded roster.
