These two teams have been considered old rivals in the past two years. The Bucks once eliminated the Nets in playoffs , and Antetokounmpo's fight against Durant is always an exciting showdown. However, judging from the performance, Antetokounmpo is now far ahead of Durant, and is not even at the same level.
After the first quarter game started, the Nets and the Bucks' offensive efficiency were very low. The game lasted about 6 minutes, and both teams scored below 10 points, which was really rare. It is worth mentioning that during the game, Durant of the Nets was suspected of stepping on Portis and was called for a first-level malicious foul , causing huge controversy, and it is really a loser. The Bucks were the first to find the feeling of the game. , Lopez and Portis made 3 consecutive 3-pointers, and the score difference instantly reached 10 points.

The Nets have found their feelings, and after the Bucks lacked Middleton , their offensive performance was poor. After Royce O'Neal scored 3 points, the Nets led by 7 points 50-43. Then, the Nets completely went crazy and their offensive efficiency was too high. In the end, the Nets scored 35-18 in the second quarter and led the Bucks by 12 points at the end of the half. There is no doubt that this is the best half-court performance since the start of the game, and it is remarkable on both offense and defense.
In the second half, the Bucks began to chase points. Among them, in one round in the third quarter, Antetokounmpo knocked down Mills , and the referee did not call any punishment. Then, Nash angrily scolded the referee for being expelled directly. This is the first time Nash has been expelled since he became the head coach of NBA. Many fans also spoke for the Nets.

Holiday 15 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, and Portis, who was substituted, scored 20 points and 11 rebounds. Durant of the Nets scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Irving 27 points and 9 rebounds, O'Neal 12 points, and only 3 players in the team scored in double digits.
