The Milwaukee Bucks were competitive until the end against the Golden State Warriors, but they ultimately could not prevail against the reigning NBA champions.

In what was a thrilling game to watch, the Milwaukee Bucks became yet another victim for the best team in the association in the Golden State Warriors Friday night at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

A 108-94 loss does not quite tell the entire story as the Bucks had the Warriors’ lead within 10 with as little as two minutes remaining in the game.

With two-time MVP Stephen Curry and valuable role player Omri Casspi out for the Warriors, the Bucks were presented with a golden opportunity to show on national TV that they were a team that could play with the best.

Milwaukee showed a lot of toughness and grit as a team, as they turned a 14-point deficit into a two-point lead from the start to the end of the third quarter.

Unfortunately, the juggernaut that is Golden State proved too much for this Bucks team as they could not keep pace with the leading team in the league as the fourth quarter wore on.

This was a good loss for the Bucks, if there ever is such a thing, so let’s look at what the Bucks can take away from the Golden State Warriors’ lone regular season visit.
