Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways from 133-86 win over Oklahoma City Thunder
By Adam McGee
Red hot shooting
On a night when it seems like almost everything went right for the Bucks, the team’s three-point shooting was no real exception.
Even missing two of their most deadly long-range marksmen in Khris Middleton and Kyle Korver, the Bucks let fly relentlessly from distance and made more than their fair share of those attempts too.
As Milwaukee went 21-of-45 (46.7 percent) from three-point range, only Brook and Thanasis failed to make a triple for the Bucks on the night.
Wesley Matthews and Pat Connaughton both caught fire from distance in spells, knocking down four long-balls each, while RoLo and Hill both posted a perfect 2-of-2 from behind the arc on the night.
All in all, the margin of victory is pretty self explanatory from this one. If the Bucks are allowed to dominate the glass, and they’re making a high percentage of shots from distance, opponents essentially don’t have any chance.
Next. Corner 3-point shooting stands as marked improvement. dark
The Bucks will be back in action on Sunday when they’ll visit the Charlotte Hornets for an afternoon tip.
