The Milwaukee Bucks’ winning streak climbed to six games Saturday night as they made light work of the Brooklyn Nets in their first meeting of the season with one another.

Thoroughly taking care of business, the Milwaukee Bucks opened their season series with the Brooklyn Nets with a 117-97 victory Saturday night at the Barclays Center.

There were far from any of the mental lapses and tough stretches that the Bucks experienced in their previous victory over the Boston Celtics Thursday night.

And given how they handled the Nets throughout the night, the Bucks came away with their 23rd double-digit victory of the season last night.

Brooklyn, meanwhile, entered the night without key rotation pieces such as Joe Harris, DeAndre Jordan and Garrett Temple and those absences certainly showed as the night went along.

Even so, the Nets just struggled to hang with a team of the Bucks’ caliber and their slide extended to three straight losses since Kyrie Irving returned to action last weekend.

So without further ado, let’s examine each and every individual Bucks performance from their win over the Brooklyn Nets Saturday night.
