When they last met

We’ll have to go back to November 10 to when the Bucks first met against the Oklahoma City Thunder, which was a nailbiting 121-119 victory in favor of the Bucks.

Thanks to a 35-point, 16-rebound performance from superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, who took his frustrations out during halftime stemming from his first half struggles, the Bucks pulled out a remarkable win that closed out their first road trip out West on a 3-1 note after edging past the Thunder.

That win kicked off the Bucks’ 18-game win streak that extended to December 16 when the Bucks suffered their fourth loss of the season to the Dallas Mavericks.

The Bucks’ visit to Oklahoma City was also notable as Bucks All-Star swingman Khris Middleton suffered his left thigh contusion after bumping knees with Thunder wing Terrance Ferguson midway through the third quarter that would keep him out of action for the start of the winning run.

And ever since that respite, Middleton has obviously gone on to have an incredible fun of form and set the foundation towards his second-straight All-Star campaign.
