The Milwaukee Bucks are finally on the board. After losing two straight games in Brooklyn, the Bucks came home and got their first win of the series. They held the Nets off 86-83, riding on their All-Stars Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
After a game where the teams split the first two quarters, the second half was a close encounter through and through. Despite Kevin Durant coming alive in the second half, the Bucks held him off.
With the 10 seconds to go in the 4th quarter, the Bucks were up 84-83. The Nets inbounded the ball to Kyrie Irving, who got double-teamed quickly and passed to Bruce Brown.
NBA Analysts go off about Bruce Brown taking the final shot
There is no easy way to say this, but Bruce Brown messed up. Instead of passing to KD, or handing the ball back to Kyrie, he took matters into his own hands. The play didn’t go as he had expected, and NBA Twitter hasn’t been forgiving. Despite having a wonderful game, scoring 16 points, and grabbing 11 rebounds, it’s the final play that people won’t let him forget.
Stephen A Smith went off about the same.
Skip Bayless wasn’t too far behind.
NBA Twitter mock Bruce Brown for his shot
While analysts had their say, the fans weren’t too far behind as well.
The Nets would look to get this game behind them, and not let the Bucks gain some momentum. They face the Bucks again on Sunday for Game 4.
