NBA legend Kevin Garnett has emphasized the significance of the upcoming clash between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Milwaukee Bucks, urging the Clippers to assert dominance over their rivals.

With both teams holding strong positions in their respective conferences – the Clippers at fourth in the West and the Bucks at third in the East – Garnett sees this matchup as pivotal for the Clippers to make a statement.

Garnett’s comments come amidst a crucial juncture in the season, with the Bucks on a two-game losing streak while the Clippers ride the momentum of two straight victories.

“The Clippers gotta actually come out and beat the s*** out of the Bucks,” Garnett stated on Ticket & The Truth, highlighting the importance of a resounding victory for the Clippers.

Adding weight to his assertion, Garnett underscored the game as a “must-win” for the Clippers to send a message to the rest of the league.

While Garnett advocates for a Clippers triumph, former NBA star Paul Pierce aligns with the Bucks, suggesting they have hit their stride.
