Quotes
“We’re gonna study the last couple games and watch film for a little bit,” 76ers head coach Nick Nurse said ahead of their match against the Bucks.
“We’re gonna do a pretty good study of where we think we need to kind of dig in and get better. Obviously, you’re playing Milwaukee and you always gotta understand that game starts with transition defense.
“You’ve got a freight train coming at you the whole game and you gotta get ready to get your defense set up so I know that’s one thing we’ll be focusing on for sure.”
