Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis won the battle of high profile backcourts, handily outplaying Joe Johnson and Deron Williams as the Bucks overcame a slow start to claim a much-needed win over the Brook Lopez-less Nets.
The dunk near the end of the game wasn't just about trying to come back and win a game. It was about Gerald Wallace showing how it's done, how you play the game. We take a look, one more time, at how Wallace, a pro's pro, became a Net.
The Bucks made it 12 straight wins over the Nets with a 97-88 victory that proved much tougher than it looked to be after one half. Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis had big games for Milwaukee, which moved back over .500.
The Nets' losing streak reached four games with a down-and-up performance against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday at Barclays Center. A Gerald Wallace-fueled comeback wasn't nearly enough after the Nets buried themselves in a 29-point hole.
After a 13-6 start, the Nets were outscored 42-18. They trail by 17 at the half.
The Nets have lost three straight without Brook Lopez and dropped 11 consecutive games to the Bucks overall.
MarShon Brooks has been the butt of a lot of jokes on "The Association" but in the first digital edition, he gets to dump the famed rookie bag he's carried now for a year. He's also dealing with the disappointment of falling out of the rotation.
Brook Lopez is making progress and had a pain-free workout on Saturday, but he will still miss his fifth straight game on Sunday when the Nets host the Bucks at Barclays Center.
