Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways from 118-110 win over Philadelphia 76ers

The Milwaukee Bucks put an end to their four-game losing streak with a spectacular and cathartic comeback win over the Philadelphia 76ers Sunday night in the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

Although it certainly looked unlikely for considerable stretches, the Milwaukee Bucks prevailed over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night in a sensational, come from behind fashion, winning 118-110.

However, it would take a while to get there as the Bucks were a disaster coming out of the gate with the 76ers racing out to a 10-0 lead in less than two minutes from the opening tip. While the Bucks were able to overcome their slow start offensively, the 76ers’ hot shooting wasn’t close to cooling down and they led 43-31 after one.

The Bucks swung the game in their favor in the first handful of minutes of the second as they went on a 20-8 run to tie it all up at 51 at the 6:09 mark of the period.

But the Sixers regained their hot offensive activity by going on a 21-9 run from that moment on, heading into halftime leading 72-60.

The 76ers added to their lead coming out of the break, thanks to the Bucks going on a fouling spree, which helped them lead by as much as 17 at that stage in the game.

Once again, however, the game of runs continued, this time coming at the benefit of the Bucks as they closed the third with a 21-0 run in the period’s final six minutes and 32 seconds.

Leading by seven with 12 minutes to go, the Bucks buckled down on both ends of the floor to control the game comfortably throughout the frame, save for a few moments. While the 76ers were able to bring their deficit down to single digits within two minutes, that’s as far as a rally would go for the current sixth placed team in the East, leaving the Bucks to take their first win in their last five tries.

So without further ado, let’s dive deeper into the Bucks’ win over the Philadelphia 76ers last night.
