Giannis' Message: Bucks Need More Fire Against Nets

The Milwaukee Bucks lost a tough game against the Brooklyn Nets. They were down by 20 points but fought back in the fourth quarter. The Nets didn't score for the last seven minutes, yet they won. The Bucks have now lost three times to the Nets this season. After the game, star player Giannis Antetokounmpo had a serious talk with the team. He said they need to take this personally and have more pride in their game. Giannis thinks the Bucks should be better. He's known for his high competition level and expects the same from his team. He said, "This game is about who competes harder. " The Bucks' coach, Doc Rivers, agreed. He thinks the team has had a tough time since winning the NBA title. He didn't talk to the team right after the game because he thinks they know what went wrong. The Bucks scored only 90 points until the last quarter. The Nets scored 111 before that. The Bucks' three-point shooting was not good. Giannis was playing his second game back after missing some. Khris Middleton also returned to the starting lineup. The team might need time to get used to playing together again. Doc Rivers will talk to them after watching the game film.
