The Milwaukee Bucks suffered a humiliating 115-99 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.
After hitting three-point shots at an insane rate in the first quarter, the Bucks failed to find their shot for the final three quarters. Meanwhiles Cleveland managed to hit everything, finishing 19-42 from three-point range.
This was a dreadful loss for the Bucks, and many fans have noticed that they just have nights where they don’t seem like a good team. The Cavs have already beaten them twice this season, and it doesn’t appear that they will be a favorable matchup come playoff time unless Brook Lopez returns to the court.
The Bucks have nothing to worry about despite latest loss to Cavaliers
Even though the Bucks looked horrible on Wednesday night, and have lost several games to opponents they have no business losing against, there are still some positives to take away from this season.
Milwaukee has a proven track record when it comes to playing other championship contenders. They have defeated the Chicago Bulls, Memphis Grizzlies, Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets, Dallas Mavericks, and a slew of other teams who could make a postseason push.
Unfortunately for Milwaukee, they haven’t been able to handle opponents that they are clearly more talented than this season.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have performed far better than expected this season, but the Milwaukee Bucks, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday, and Khris Middleton, should be able to take care of business against the Cavs.
There’s a fair chance the game would have turned out differently if Brook Lopez had been on the floor, considering the Bucks were crushed on the boards for most of the game and couldn’t get anything going on the offensive end thanks to the Cavs’ size.
Milwaukee suffered an ugly loss, but it isn’t anything they should be concerned about because, as everyone has seen, when they face teams they believe are title contenders, they come out with a different level of fire and desire to win games.
