Milwaukee Bucks and Oklahoma City Thunder head-to-head record
The Oklahoma City Thunder, who have won three of their previous five meetings with the Milwaukee Bucks, including a decisive 125-96 victory on the fourth of February 2025, have dominated recent meetings. The Bucks' victories during this run have been in games with lower scoring totals, indicating that they perform best when they slow down the game and tighten their defense. The Bucks will need outstanding games from Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard to stay competitive against the Thunder, who are led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and have one of the greatest defenses in the league. Milwaukee has a chance if they can manage the pace and take advantage of their efficiency, but another high-scoring Oklahoma City victory appears inevitable if the Thunder set the pace.
