The only time in NBA history that a team started worse was when the Los Angeles Clippers lost their first two games of the 1987-88 season by 71 points.
- What I was most disappointed about is that we had two good training days where we could go through our tactics and could hone details, but you did not see much of that today, says Golden State coach Steve Kerr according to AP.
The United States has access to powerful databases and the AP makes a point of being the first game on a Christmas day since 1968 that the Milwaukee Bucks won at home.
That's because tonight's match was the first at home on Christmas Day since the 1968 debut season.
The second biggest loss on a Christmas day
When you still have access to the database, it can be reported that the night's loss of 40 points is the second largest in NBA history on Christmas Day.
On Christmas Day 1960, The Syracuse Nationals beat the New York Knicks 162-100.
The most fun for the team was receiving a video greeting via the big screen from loved ones and relatives that the Bucks had prepared as a surprise.
- It was the best gift I got today, says Bucks guard Jrue Holiday who did not get time off.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, who recently signed a record contract worth SEK 1.9 billion for the Bucks, was listed for 15 points and 13 rebounds.
Notably, he put just eight points off the floor and only seven of 15 penalty throws.
Golden States superstar, three-point specialist Stephen Curry, scored 19 points.
He scored only two of ten three-point attempts.
