Best images from the Thunder’s 136-132 2OT loss to the Bucks
In a contest that was nearly an hour long in game-time, the Oklahoma City Thunder lost a double overtime thriller to the shorthanded Milwaukee Bucks, 136-132.
Poor officiating was the main storyline of this game as the OKC crowd’s groans grew louder with each whistle until it ultimately culminated with the referees being booed out of the building at the end of the game.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to play like an early-season MVP candidate, scoring 39 points on 13-of-25 shooting. The Bucks were led by Jevon Carter, who scored a career-high 36 points and collected 12 assists.
