MILWAUKEE — Giannis Antetokounmpo didn't want to talk about the latest record the Milwaukee Bucks star added to his collection Thursday night. The two-time MVP instead was focused on figuring how the Bucks could stop their recent pattern of making things tough on themselves early in games. The Bucks fell behind by 24 points before nearly coming all the way back in a 113-110 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The loss came two nights after Milwaukee erased a 19-point deficit to win 120-112 at Indiana. Antetokounmpo has scored at least 20 points while shooting at least 50% in an NBA-record 26 straight games.
