Milwaukee Bucks v Brooklyn Nets
NBA Regular Season
Sunday 2 May 2021
Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Tip-off at 21:30 CAT
The Milwaukee Bucks will look to put away the Brooklyn Nets when the teams meet in an
NBA Regular Season clash at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on the evening of Sunday 2 May 2021. Tip-off is at 21:30 CAT.
The Bucks are on course for a top-three finish in the Eastern Conference and remain one of the dark horses for the championship overall. Milwaukee continues to be driven forward by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who recently moved past Glenn Robinson for second all time on the franchise scoring list. Only the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (12,023 points) is ranked above the 26-year-old.
“It's a great compliment. It's a marathon, not a sprint, so I got to keep working hard, keep believing in myself, keep polishing my skills, keep having great teammates, great coaching staff. It's a lot of hard work that paid off but got to keep moving forward,” said Antetokounmpo.

The Nets, alongside the Philadelphia 76ers, have been the outstanding force in the East and this past weekend underlined their championship credentials by defeating one of the Western Conference’s top teams, the Phoenix Suns, 128-119.

“It's like riding a bike," said star man Kevin Durant, who came back from injury with a 33-point performance. "You get your footing right and just get your rhythm going; and I think my teammates did a great job of looking for me all game, and I just wanted to resort back to that work I put in. The shots I work on at practice and shootaround, try to get to those as much as possible to gain my rhythm and then start to get a little more creative as the game progressed. It was a good start.”
