And another possible All-Star in Jalen Williams, Oklahoma City remains a strong club. They will be a formidable squad in the Western playoffs whenever Chet Holmgren returns later this season.
Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said, “We can learn from it, but we didn’t score nearly enough points, especially in the second half, to give ourselves a chance to win.” “We’ll proceed from here.”
Milwaukee’s 3-point shooting was the winner. The Bucks outscored Oklahoma City 51-15 on 3-pointers and went 17-for-40 (42.5%) on 3-pointers.
Milwaukee’s prowess from that distance this season was shown by the five Bucks who hit at least two three-pointers.
It ranks 10th in terms of 3-pointers made per game this season and third in terms of 3-point shooting percentage.
Winners: Taurean Prince and Darvin Ham Taurean Prince, the Bucks reserve, and assistant coach Darvin Ham deserve special recognition.
