The Milwaukee Bucks had a tough home game on Monday night against the Houston Rockets. Milwaukee had a comfortable lead at one point in the game against Houston. However, it would get tight in the fourth quarter. Giannis Antetokounmpo blocked a shot when the Rockets led 100-99.
That would lead to the game-winning shot by Damian Lillard to give the Bucks a 101-100 win over the Rockets. With the win, Milwaukee improved to 5-9 on the season and Houston dropped to 10-5 on the season.

When you consider how tight some of our losses have been, we should easily be above .500 right now. Houston is a pretty good team right now, and we narrowly lost to the Celtics and Cavs x2… promising signs but we gotta stop throwing away leads in the 3rd!
