Big time finish!!!! They bring in Henson in the final 2 minutes and he makes all the difference. Giannis with a pair of clutch blocks in the final minute, but Henson protecting the rim and getting a putback and the Bucks finish on a 6-0 run to win! 

3-2 road trip and SActo tomorrow on a huge back to back. Finish the trip 4-2 and you can really build that momentum for the home stretch... great win tonight!!!

Bucks play about even through one, but carpet bomb the Kings in the second quarter with 3s. Teletovic, Terry, Hawes, Brogdon, Middleton just bombs away from 3 as the Bucks hit 16/24 in the second quarter...

 Giannis has 22-9-5 at the half on 9/13 shooting. Everything he has scored on has been at the rim. 61% overall at the half and 50% from 3. 

Up 69-50 at the half and a chance to end this road trip emphatically! Lets go!!!

Now above .500 for the first time since January 15th, they're in the 6th spot, and they've won 10 of 12. 

6 guys in double figures, and Giannis hits 30 for the 16th time this season. 

Cannot let up... you have the team ahead of you in the 5th spot at home Friday... beat them and tie them for the 5th spot. Big opportunity on Friday night...

Any other time, I'd shrug my shoulders and say "It was their night." But honestly, we had seen this movie before. They just thought the Bulls would roll over after the Bucks were up 12, and they avalanched them. And the Bulls gave plenty of good looks from 3- the Bucks simply could not hit them. 

They have 9 games left, and the schedule is not easy down the stretch. They have 2 road games against the Celtics, road games against the Pacers, OKC, Philly, and Charlotte, and home games against Charlotte, Dallas, and Detroit. Last night's bs needs to be a one time deal... 4 games separate 5 from 10...

Yeah, it seems like so much of what they do is predicated on Thomas and their spot up shooters, the Bucks really took them out of the game last night. Of course they whittled the lead down, but they're no juggernaut.

When Brogdon is playing this well, they really are scary for anyone except Cleveland. But as far as matchups, I still like Washington- and as much as you fear that Wall would really hurt the Bucks, their supporting cast doesn't scare me. Toronto is a different team without Lowry, and if he's out they won't win their opening series. 

Honestly I don't think anyone wants to face Milwaukee.  

Sure, they could get beat by Brooklyn or Minnesota or Philly just as easily but when focused and motivated they have proven they can beat the best teams in the league.  

It's entirely possible they could rise up and compete and even win a series depending on the matchup. 

Part of me actually wants to see them face the Cavs in round 1.  If you are going to face them get them early. 

The Celts matchup would be favorable due to the size and length of the Bucks players. Boston is very good but as we saw the other night the Bucks can play them straight up on D and guys like Brogdon and Delly can give the Boston backcourt fits.

I don't like the Washington and Toronto matchups nearly as well although if Lowry isn't healthy that's a big problem for the Raptors.
