Both teams finished the game shooting on 50/40 splits from the floor and 3-point line in a high scoring affair. A lot has changed since for Milwaukee. Under new coach Doc Rivers, the Bucks are defending at a high level, so they may not allow the Kings to score as efficiently.
The Kings have homecourt advantage, though. Their offense has been unfazed against the best defensive teams, so this should be an intriguing matchup.
