The Milwaukee Bucks (1 - 3) defeated the Brooklyn Nets (0 - 4) on Monday by a score of 103 - 96 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Both teams were playing for their first win of the season, and the Bucks were able to pull away late in the fourth quarter behind a tremendous performance from Jerryd Bayless, who got the start in the backcourt as the Bucks continue to shuffle their lineup around. Bayless finished with a game - high 27 points after playing nearly the entire game at 47 minutes. Greg Monroe continues to be a force down low, as he recorded his second double - double of the season of 23 points (10 - 14 FG) and 13 rebounds in 39 minutes. Giannis Antetokounmpo added 21 points and eight rebounds of his own, while Khris Middleton scored 17 points. The Bucks starters dominating the playing time and the scoring, collecting 93 of the team’s 103 points. Brook Lopez led the way in the losing effort for the Nets, recording 18 points and nine rebounds in 34 minutes. Bojan Bogdanovic was solid off the bench for the second straight game, scoring 14 points in 25 minutes, and he has now scored 33 total points in his last two contests.
