Game Recap
E.J. Liddell's 21-point night powered Brooklyn past Milwaukee, but neither team's offensive spark proved strong enough to light up what had been projected as a high-scoring affair. The Nets won 96–90 in a game that combined for just 186 points, landing 34.5 points under the 220.5 market total and handing DAGGER its pregame over call a decisive miss.
The game's shape was set early: a frantic Q1 saw 59 combined points, the highest-scoring quarter of the night. From there, defenses tightened dramatically. Q2 cratered to just 33 combined points—a 26-point swing that effectively determined the evening's course. Milwaukee, averaging 107.5 points over its last 10 games, managed only 14 in the second quarter and never recovered its footing. Brooklyn's defense held the Bucks to 90 total, well below their recent scoring norm. AJ Green led the Bucks with 20 points and 6 rebounds, while Taurean Prince added 16 points and 11 boards. For Brooklyn, Ben Saraf chipped in 19 points and 5 rebounds alongside Liddell's output. The second half stayed competitive—54 combined points in Q4—but neither team could generate enough volume to chase down the market. This marked the second low-scoring contest between these teams this season; their prior meeting on November 29 also came in under at 215 combined points.
