To say that Sunday’s 123-108 loss against the Utah Jazz would be a disappointment for the Milwaukee Bucks would be an understatement. What makes the defeat even more brutal is the fact that Milwaukee was actually in the driver’s seat in this one before the Jazz decided to shift gears in the final quater.
The Bucks simply had no answer to Utah in the fourth period as the home team shocked Milwaukee with a 40-13 run in the final 12 minutes to secure an impressive 15-point victory at the Delta Center.
Jazz Torched Milwaukee Bucks in Fourth Quarter
The Bucks entered the fourth quarter with a seemingly safe 95-83 lead over the Jazz. Utah, however, came out firing in the fourth. They ended up tying the game at 99-99 with eight minutes remaining. They would not look back from there.
To be fair to Milwaukee, this was the second night of a back-to-back set for them. They were also playing in their fourth conesutive road game. Moreover, the Bucks did not have two of their starters in this one with both Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez sidelined.
Be that as it may, it’s still difficult to fathom the fact that the Bucks gave up 40 points in a single quarter while only scoring 13 points on their end. Brutal.
NBA Fans React to Fourth-Quarter Collapse
You just know that the trolls were going to come out firing after seeing this meltdown by the Bucks. As expected, they did not disappoint:
