Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City

Tuesday night, the Milwaukee Bucks will journey to the Chesapeake Energy Arena to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder. 

The Milwaukee Bucks will try to erase the memory of their Sunday night 125 - 102 beating at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks.  Dallas took over early and never let up on Milwaukee as they beat them for the 2nd time in 5 days.   The Bucks got the scoring that they needed as they had all 5 starters as well as a reserve score double-digits.  But when you allow your opponents to get a hot start, it is nearly impossible to come back.  The Bucks will need to avoid the same thing as they face the Thunder.  If they allow Oklahoma City to set the pace early on, Milwaukee will suffer the same fate against the Thunder that they suffered against the Mavericks.

The Oklahoma City Thunder had to save their best basketball for the 2nd half as they beat the Detroit Pistons 96 -94 on Sunday night.  The Thunder were down at the half and had to play catch up in the final two quarters.  That was something that they didn’t expect to have to do against the lowly Pistons.  But now that both Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are back in the lineup, it shouldn’t be long before the Thunder round back into form.  The duo of Durant/Westbrook was good for 50 points against the Pistons and if the dynamic duo can post the same numbers against the Bucks, the Thunder could get their 3rd win in a row.
