Milwaukee Bucks Record An Embarrassing Stat With Their Defeat Against Houston Rockets
Follow Us
The Milwaukee Bucks are the best team in the East. In fact, the Bucks boast the best record in the whole NBA. The team is thriving under the leadership of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who looks unstoppable at the moment. However, they suffered a defeat at the hands of the Houston Rockets in their previous game.
An exciting contest ended in a loss for the Bucks who just registered their 13th loss of the season. Reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo managed to replicate the same 36-point performance that he posted in the first game. His masterful display was enough to guide the Bucks to victory against the Celtics.
However, this didn’t prove to be the case in the game against the Rockets. James Harden and Russell Westbrook powered the Rockets to victory to register two wins in two games. This is certainly a sweet start for the Rockets, but not so much for the Bucks.
