"That's not, at times, uncommon in the NBA (for teams to have a big quarter, like the Bucks' first)," said Brown. "The ebbs and flows and mood swings in NBA games are dramatic. It's not out of the ordinary for them to start like they did. For me, it was about not overreacting and declaring the obvious - it's got to start with our defense. It's a long game, and I felt like we got things settled and found a way to even it out, and then take some leads and finally hold on."
