Bucks Fail To Hold Another Big Lead, Go Cold In 116-105 Defeat

The Milwaukee Bucks had a 19-point lead in the first half and were up by 15 points midway through the third period — then they went cold and Boston took over on the way to a 116-105 decision.  Kemba Walker scored 21 of his 32 points in the second half.  Milwaukee’s record drops to .500 and two-and-two with the Wednesday loss.  Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton combined for 48 points and 20 rebounds.  The Bucks lost despite a 37-to-eight edge in bench scoring.  They return to action at Orlando Friday night.
