In a game of runs Milwaukee came up on the short end Tuesday night in a 122-121 loss at Golden State.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo missing a second straight game to rest a lingering knee soreness, the Bucks fell behind 18-5 out of the gate. But they rebounded and trailed by just two after the first quarter, three at the half and actually led by five heading to fourth quarter. There they increased their lead to 10 with 4:00 left before things fell apart and they were outscored 16-5 the rest of the way.

Milwaukee had a chance to win it on its final possession but it was a mess, with Khris Middleton eventually forced to take a deep 3-pointer that got blocked. Pat Connaughton collected the ball near the basket and threw up a shot but that was also deflected.
