The Milwaukee Bucks stumbled in the second half of their final preseason scrimmage against New Orleans Monday.
Milwaukee wasn’t able to hold a three-point halftime lead in a 124-103 loss to the Pelicans.
Giannis Antetokounmpo returned to the court in the fourth quarter, but couldn’t end the winners’ momentum. He had 30 points and eight rebounds in 23 minutes of play.
The Bucks struggled on 3-pointers, hitting just 10-of-38 for 26 percent.
Milwaukee plays its first playoff seeding game Friday at 5:30 p-m Central time on E-S-P-N against the Boston Celtics.
