Out of turn…ing it over

As flat as the Bucks came out to start the night, their inability to consistently take care of the ball played a part in why they were unable to climb out of their deficit to make it a game Wednesday night against the 76ers.

The Bucks registered 20 turnovers on the game, which falls a shade under of tying their single game season-high in this department.

Certainly Giannis Antetetokounmpo’s frustrations played a factor in why they accrued so many miscues for the game, but the Bucks’ disorganization can be applied to many figures beyond their leading superstar.

The combination of the team’s ragged play in the first half and lack of urgency only further hamstrung the Bucks to play competent basketball for the first 24 minutes of the night.

All of which is not what you want to see as the Bucks prepare to head into the postseason, but much like the night as a whole, there’s nothing to be gained from pouring over a miserable loss such as this one beyond reading this recap.
