"Liddell's night started fast and never really slowed down. In an opening quarter played by two undermanned teams, he poured in 12 points on 5-for-6 shooting in his first 12 minutes, setting the tone for a Nets group that came in looking to win the possession game."
"Brooklyn played without Ziaire Williams, Noah Clowney, Terance Mann, Nic Claxton, Michael Porter Jr., Danny Wolf, Egor Dëmin and Day'Ron Sharpe. Milwaukee sat Kevin Porter Jr., Gary Trent Jr., Bobby Portis, Kyle Kuzma, Ryan Rollins, Myles Turner and Giannis Antetokounmpo."
"Neither side shot it well in the second quarter, but Brooklyn remained in control because it kept Milwaukee cold and created extra possessions. The Nets held the Bucks to 28.6% shooting in the period while hitting 3-of-5 from 3-point range."
E.J. Liddell scored a career-high 21 points in his second start of the season, helping the Nets defeat the Bucks 96-90. The victory improved Brooklyn's record to 20-59, keeping them in third place in the draft lottery standings. Despite the win, the Nets are losing ground in the race for better draft odds. Liddell's strong performance included 12 points in the first quarter, contributing to Brooklyn's control of the game despite missing several key players.
