Milwaukee won the season series against Brooklyn on Tuesday
For the second time in three days, the Milwaukee Bucks have defeated the Brooklyn Nets, and Tuesday's game took much the same path that Sunday's did. The two teams traded leads for the first three quarters before Milwaukee took over and finished Brooklyn off in the fourth quarter. Yet again, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant excelled with 36 and 32 points, respectively, but Kyrie Irving outpaced them both with 38 of his own. Yet Milwaukee managed to walk away with the victory thanks to a balanced offensive effort. Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton poured in 23 points apiece, and strong nights from Donte DiVincenzo and Bryn Forbes pushed the Bucks over the top. The two teams have now played all three of their scheduled regular-season matchups, but are on a collision course for a second-round rematch, and that is one of three takeaways from Tuesday's battle.More Related News
