It was heartbreak city for Kenny Atkinson and the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night.
Squaring off against Jason Kidd‘s Bucks in Milwaukee, John Henson tipped one in at the buzzer to provide his Bucks the 110-108 win.
Rashad Vaughn poured in a career-high 22 points that included six 3-pointers. Giannis Antetokounmpo contributed with 21.
For Brooklyn, it was Bojan Bogdanovic who paced the way with 26 points. His 3-pointer with 11.6 seconds to go in regulation tied the game at 108. The Nets only connected on 11-of-35 from beyond the arc, a number that ultimately doomed them.
Saturday night’s game was the first hard struggle for Jeremy Lin, who shot just 4-of-16 from the floor (12 points). He did finish with 10 dimes.
The Nets will next return home and welcome in Dwyane Wade and the Chicago Bulls for a Monday night contest.
