Brooklyn defeated Milwaukee 96–90 on April 7 at Barclays Center in a defensive battle that fell well short of the 218.5-point Vegas total. E. Liddell paced the Nets with 21 points, while B. Saraf added 19 in a balanced offensive effort. The Bucks countered with A. Green's 20 points and T. Prince's 16, but Milwaukee's 19 turnovers proved costly against Brooklyn's 11 steals and disciplined 10 turnovers. Brooklyn shot 44 percent from the field and made just 9 three-pointers, relying on defensive intensity—a 104.2 defensive rating—to control the pace. Milwaukee, despite launching 15 three-pointers and dominating the boards with 44 rebounds, managed only 25 assists and struggled in the second quarter, scoring just 14 points. The Bucks' 95.2 offensive rating underscored their offensive inefficiency, while their 104.2 defensive rating indicated lapses that Brooklyn exploited. The Nets' fourth-quarter surge of 26 points proved decisive in a low-scoring affair. This defensive grind could signal playoff intensity ahead for both teams, with Brooklyn's ball security and Milwaukee's turnover issues likely to shape their seeding trajectory.
