Milwaukee Bucks guard Cam Thomas on playing in Milwaukee for the first time:Â “It was definitely a good vibe, good atmosphere. I enjoyed it. Definitely would like to play here more, get more games here, but it was cool, it was fun. I wish we got the win but it is what it is. Got another one coming up so I think we’ll be ready for that and try to get that win.”
