Kyle Kuzma sounds outstanding against ‘trying to lose’ Nets

Turbulent season in Milwaukee Bucks probably hit a low point Sunday after they lost 45 points to the Brooklyn Nets, 127-82, at the Barclays Center.
The Bucks never recovered from their slow start and scored just 11 points in the fourth quarter to fall to 11-16, including 11 of their last 14 games.
Milwaukee battled Brooklyn with a depleted roster, ace Giannis Antetokounmpo and AJ Green are out with injuries.
after the game Kyle Kuzma admitted theirs lack of readinesswhile also appearing to subtly overshadow the Nets.
“That’s 45 points to a team that’s trying to lose. They’ve got four or five wins or whatever it is right now. No disrespect because that’s the beauty of this league, right? There’s so much talent, and if you’re not prepared, you can beat any team’s ass. We proved that tonight,” Kuzma said in a video posted by Michael NBA.

The Nets, seen by many as a tanking team, improved to 7-18. They have won four of the last six tasks.
Their loss to the Bucks tied the franchise record for largest margin of victory. The Nets, then based in New Jersey, also beat the Washington Wizards by 45 points in 1993.
Kuzma finished the loss with 13 points, seven rebounds and three assists, while Gary Trent had 20 points, two rebounds and two steals to lead the Bucks.
In addition to their losing record, Milwaukee is also dealing with an encircling storm Antetokounmpo trade rumors. An embarrassing loss to the Nets certainly won’t make things any easier, though the two-time MVP has already stressed that they should focus on improving their campaign.
