On August 5, 2020, the Brooklyn Nets pulled off a stunning upset, defeating the Milwaukee Bucks 119-116 in a thrilling match that delayed the Bucks' top spot coronation in the Eastern Conference.
The Nets' victory was led by Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, who scored a career-high 26 points, including two crucial three-pointers in the closing stages of the game.

The Bucks will get another chance to lock up top spot against the Miami Heat on Thursday, but for now, their coronation will have to wait.
