Nets Unleash Devastating Blowout on Bucks, Shattering Expectations with Historic 45-Point Victory!

What a night for the Brooklyn Nets — absolutely no signs of slipping up as they trounced the Milwaukee Bucks by a jaw-dropping 45 points, tying a franchise record set way back in the New Jersey days of 1993. Can you believe it? Egor Demin dropped 17 points, Noah Clowney chipped in 16, and the Nets never once fell behind. It’s a stunning turnaround, considering they stumbled out of the gate with a 3-13 start. At home? They’re finally finding their rhythm, winning three out of four after a rough 0-9 beginning. Oh, and did I mention their head coach Jordi Fernandez was sidelined by illness, leaving assistant Steve Hetzel at the helm? Meanwhile, the Bucks are limping along without Giannis Antetokounmpo — whose calf injury has left them down in the dumps, losing three of four games recently. Brooklyn was on fire, shooting an eye-popping 56.5% by halftime and dominating a crucial third quarter with a 24-11 run. This game’s got all the makings of a turning point in their season.

NEW YORK (AP) — Egor Demin scored 17 points, Noah Clowney added 16 and the Brooklyn Nets matched the franchise record for margin of victory, never trailing in a 127-82 romp over the short-handed Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night.

The 45-point victory tied the team record set Jan. 9, 1993, against Washington while the team was playing in New Jersey. The Nets have won four of six after opening 3-13. At home, they have won three of four after starting 0-9.

Brooklyn coach Jordi Fernandez missed the game due to an illness. Assistant coach Steve Hetzel directed the team.

Gary Trent Jr. scored 20 points and Kyle Kuzma added 13 for the struggling Bucks. They have lost three of four since star Giannis Antetokounmpo strained his right calf in the opening minutes of a win over Detroit on Dec. 3.

Brooklyn led 65-46 at halftime on 56.5% shooting, and had a 24-11 run in the third quarter to make it 94-65.
