Rivers: Bucks don't need to make wholesale changes

MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers remains confident in his team and doesn't plan on making any major changes in the wake of a 45-point loss to Brooklyn that matched the Nets' most lopsided win in franchise history.

The Bucks (11-16) haven't won two straight games since Oct 28-30 as they struggle to deal with the absence of two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has been out for the last two weeks with a right calf strain.

"We like our team," Rivers said Wednesday after practice. "I really like this team. We're not playing well. We're not playing well for a lot of reasons. You don't recreate the wheel. You just don't. Teams that do that, then they fail. I'm just being honest. I've been around this long enough."
