DNHQ After Dark is back with a horror story for Milwaukee fans about the deadly Butler serving up a platter of fresh Buck meat while being cheered on by the cackling Chef.
> The Bucks watched their six-point lead vanish faster than teenagers in a haunted summer camp
That was a crazy stretch. Not only did they have a six-point lead, they also had possession, with 41 seconds left in the quarter. The Warriors looked to be unraveling, and the Bucks had their hooves on our throats. 32-12 Bucks quarter to that point. A well-executed 2-for-1 and the Bucks could easily have entered the 4th with a double-digit lead.
Instead…
• Buddy tip steal and 3 at 0:40
• Porter Jr. miss, Loon rebound
• JK fouled, makes both FTs at 0:26
• Kuzma bricked 3, Moody rebound
• JB fouled on a 3 at 0:01, makes all 3
And the Warriors somehow entered the 4th with a lead — one they would not relinquish.
I can’t wait to see Porzinki, either, Matt!
Terrific read. Thank you, DH!

With all the recency bias caveats, it really did feel like a season turning point.
