On Thursday night, the Brooklyn Nets once again would be facing the Milwaukee Bucks on the road this time around. Brooklyn once had a 111-90 lead against Milwaukee in the fourth quarter before the Bucks had a late rally, but the Nets survived and won the game 113-110.
With the win, Brooklyn improved to 13-21 on the season and Milwaukee dropped to 17-15 on the year. The Nets have been better this season than some people would have thought.
Brooklyn Nets Fans React To Another Win Against the Milwaukee Bucks
The Nets this season have won more games than anyone would have anticipated. There is a chance that they can win 25-30 games before the end of the season. Many thought that Brooklyn was going to win only 15 games total this season.
A lot also thought they would be in play for Duke Blue Devils superstar Cooper Flagg, but they will probably not draft him unless they win the lottery or they go into a massive tailspin. They will also have several first-round NBA Draft picks in the 2025 NBA Draft. This is what the Brooklyn Nets fanbase said on Twitter after the win against the Milwaukee Bucks:
There is literally no reason to win, unless the plan is to get swept by Boston

The weird thing is that had the Brooklyn Nets actually lost to the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday after having a big lead, the Nets fans would have also gone crazy. Well, first-year head coach Jordi Fernandez is trying to establish his own culture in his first NBA season with the club.
