The Green Bay Phoenix saw two separate eight point leads disappear along with a win against its in-state rivals on Sunday, falling to Milwaukee 75-72.

The Phoenix led 31-25 at halftime and held onto a 59-51 advantage with 8:32 left before the Panthers took a firm grasp of the game. They outscored the Phoenix 24-13 over the final stretch, knocking down clutch free throw in the process. The free throw disparity drew the ire of head coach Doug Gottlieb as the Panthers were 30-37 from the line compared to 14-18 for the Phoenix.

The loss spoiled a career-high 32 points from Marcus Hall, who was complemented by  Preston Ruedinger's 12 points and C.J. O'Hara's 10 points. Chandler Jackson led the Panthers with 23 points, including a perfect 8-8 from the free throw line.

The Phoenix men are back in action on Friday when they play Oakland.
