The Nets had just a Big 1 to the Bucks’ Big 3, but two big runs in the second half Saturday night were enough to knock off the defending champs.
The Nets outscored the Bucks 23-4 during a dominant stretch in the third quarter to take a 13-point lead, but the Bucks withstood that punch and came back to take a 112-105 lead with under five minutes left in the game. The teams traded free throws in the final seconds, but Irving and LaMarcus Aldridge made enough to ice the win, with Giannis Antetokounmpo missing a potential game-tying 3-pointer at the buzzer.USA TODAY Sports
The Nets left the former Knick open too often from beyond the arc and he took advantage, shooting a career-high 8-for-14 from 3-point range. He went on an 8-0 run by himself late in the third quarter to close Milwaukee’s deficit, then sank back-to-back 3-pointers early in the fourth to put the Bucks back on top, 101-100.Another bucket from Portis later put the Bucks up 112-105 before the Nets went on one last run, with a 3 from Irving giving them a 113-112 lead.
