The Milwaukee Bucks are experiencing a rollercoaster season as they continue to alternate between wins and losses. Recently, they faced the Denver Nuggets, suffering a close 109-104 defeat on the road in Mile High City, marking their fourth game in a row where they have swapped victories for setbacks.
Despite the loss, the game featured a standout moment from forward Kyle Kuzma. At the end of one quarter, Kuzma executed a remarkable shot after securing the ball from a missed attempt by the Nuggets. He launched a remarkable heave from just inside the Bucks’ three-point line, with the shot bouncing off the back of the rim, soaring into the air before dropping perfectly through the hoop. The electrifying moment drew a gasp from the crowd at Ball Arena, demonstrating Kuzma’s impressive skill, even though the shot did not count due to time running out before the ball left his hands. The NBA showcased this jaw-dropping attempt on social media, highlighting the excitement it generated among fans.
In terms of individual performance, Kuzma contributed 11 points to the Bucks’ effort, hitting 5 of 13 shots from the field and securing six rebounds in 26 minutes on the court. Unfortunately for the Bucks, those statistics were insufficient to change the outcome of the game.
Currently, Kuzma is averaging 12.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game for the season, with a shooting efficiency of 51 percent from the field. The Bucks, now standing at 17-22, will look to bounce back as they prepare to host the Minnesota Timberwolves at Fiserv Forum this coming Tuesday, seeking to turn their fortunes around and regain momentum in the ongoing season.
