After falling behind by 22 points, the Oklahoma City Thunder put on a comeback run against the Milwaukee Bucks. A strong start to the fourth quarter pulled the deficit to seven.
They wouldn’t get closer, though, as Milwaukee Bucks stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton put the game away and handed the Thunder a 98-85 loss.
In a game with little offense, the Thunder were unable to produce with all three of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Theo Maledon and Al Horford in the lineup for the first time since Feb. 1.
Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 14 points on 3-for-12 shooting. Five Thunder players scored at least 10, but Lu Dort’s 17 points on 6-for-16 shooting was the highest output on the team.
Antetokounmpo had another monster game, finishing with 29 points, 19 rebounds and eight assists, while Middleton provided 20 points and eight rebounds.
Oklahoma City’s defense was very strong, but the offense couldn’t match the output.
