|What a great night last night, Friday March 21, at the home arena Barclay’s Center, the Netsi expected to be more energizing and running the youngest league Milwaukee Bucks and faced the ex coach Jason Kidd.
The first quarter started very energizing, Bucks started without the best players, O.J. Mayo with a sore right hamstring, and forward Jared Dudley has been sidelined with back spasms.
Bucks started wit about 8 points ahead from Nets, not that Lopez didn’t wanted to be less points from the center Pachulia, but the whole time they kind of matched their scores, who scored more. That was fun to watch competition, and the Mason, Plumlee at the locker room, didn’t wanted to give interview as he was very nervous to see his Brother #21 Millis Plumlee.
At the 3.2 seconds from the first quarter Nets head coach Lionel Hollins, give a chance to Mason Plumlee to show up on court against is brother.
Kris Middleton was a key player at the Bucks , such a great energy, at the end of the first quarter he had 10 points, Pachulia with 20 pt, since 2007 have same points, but Lopez on his shoulder he add 20 pt too, and 10 rebounds, but Pachulia 9 rebounds.

In the 3/4 quarter the results was 83-74 for Bucks, Bojan 3pts shoot, he reached 13pts so far, great offence, but not good defense, even the voice from Nets Radio 101.9 Tim W mentioned Bojan doing much better lately, but not good in defense, also said ex head coach ‘Jason Kidd’ gave Mirza huge support and appreciated that he is very talented player. Compare the new head coach he doesn’t really tell the players How good they are, also he is not really good talker at all, and not to the media, as he is Old School”.
In the 4/4 Nets brought up the same scores, even Jack added 10points, Young 20pt, Bojan only one points extra from his 13points from the two halve time. 94-98 Nets added 4th more points ahead Bucks. In two minutes to the end score was 101-98, Johnson 3points shoot, he made it even 101-101.. So that was the end of the game, but they gave the 1st OT. Lopez aggressively he got fault on Giannis, so he gave him two f/g shoots, 107-106 for Bucks, Nets, and Lopez was on the fire, so he immediately returned the score ahead for his team, 108-109, impressive Three points from Bojan Bogdanovic. It was only 19.7sec to the end, Middleton three points shoot, that was unexpected coming from 111-111. There was another 2nd OT. Giannis made 20pts 2asst-12rebounds-5faults. In the 2nd Ot, Johnson had the chance to get even, results was 117-114 but in the 20:05sec was called off Time Out. After the time out, Johnson full energy with 3-points shoot and got even again 117-117 End the 2nd OT. What amazing game, fun to watch.
That was fight for the playoff, at the 3rd OT, Lopez got mad, and he pulled out the strength, he became wild on Pachulia, with fault, as he pushed him on floor, 117-120, at the 10;25min in the third OT. The weakness started at Giannis missed shoots, and they were behind the score, so kind of giving the chance the Nets for winning.
