NBA: Coming off late collapse against 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks looks to rebound against Washington Wizards

The Hindu  

Milwaukee Bucks went six weeks between losses, but its 16-game winning streak is over. And we didn’t do that in the fourth quarter.” The Philadelphia bench also hurt the Bucks in the final stanza: The 76ers’ reserves had a 20-0 edge. This is a good lesson for us.” Antetokounmpo scored a career-high 55 points when Milwaukee posted a 123-113 home win over the Wizards on January 3. “We’ve all gotta slow down and get to our spots and execute better.” Washington coach Wes Unseld Jr. sang a similar tune after being miffed by his club’s sloppiness. “All the things I think we were aware of and trying to avoid.” Delon Wright put together a strong all-around game with a season-high 18 points to go with seven assists, six rebounds and matching his career best of six steals.
