Three days after the Bucks earned an impressive win over the Celtics, disappointment struck again as the Nets blew Milwaukee out 127–82. Against a 7–18 Nets team that ranks 13th in the Eastern Conference, the Bucks lost by nearly 50 points.
The Bucks are still without superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo as he deals with a calf strain that has kept him out since Dec. 3. Still, the Nets offered a good opportunity for the Bucks to string together a second straight win without Antetokounmpo. Not only did they walk away with a loss, but they got embarrassed by a team they should have beaten.
