Milwaukee Bucks: Player grades from Game 3 victory over Brooklyn Nets

Although the Bucks were not much better, it was an ugly night for the Brooklyn Nets offensively. They finished the game shooting just 34-of-94 (36.2 percent) from the floor, including an uncharacteristic 8-for-32 (25 percent) from behind the arc. A massive portion of these struggles stemmed from their two leading stars in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Despite Durant finishing with 30 points, he shot just 11-for-28 from the floor, including 3-of-8 from three. Meanwhile, Kyrie Irving finished with 22 points on a troublesome 9-of-22 shooting from the floor, including a 2-of-8 performance from deep. Joe Harris, who has proven to be a lethal shooter from distance against these Bucks, went cold offensively as he finished shooting 1-of-11 from the floor, including missing six of seven from range. Although the end result was just a three-point loss for Brooklyn, numbers like that from their top players will likely not make the game competitive unless the opposing team is having a near-identical shooting night, which was indeed the case this time around. Yet, it was Milwaukee that escaped with the victory by the skin of their teeth. Time will tell what the rest of the series holds as the Nets are expecting James Harden and Jeff Green back at some point, but they will almost certainly not play this poorly again.. . Opponent.
