Bucks up 36-31 after one.
Giannis with 16-4-2
Middleton has yo-yoed back to being awful. 3 fouls in 7 minutes of scoreless time.

Giannis is now 0 for 3 from the line tonight and 3 for his last 13.
For as good as he is, he entering pathetic territory there and it's going to cost them games.
Giannis is a mental midget at the line. He finally hits one and is 1 for 5 from the line tonight.
Bucks trail by 3 at the half. Giannis can't hit FTs. Middleton has sucked.
This is trending towards a loss on the back to back.
I hope everything with Portis is OK, but they are missing him and AJ Green badly the last few games. That's especially true when Middleton has another clunker like he is tonight.
Bucks in danger of losing contact here in the third. Down 8 and playing badly. Looking like they might get swept this year by the Blazers.
Giannis 4 for his last 15 from the line.
🤦🏻♂️
Down 9 and it's too late for me to watch this crap. It's one of those scheduling losses if it happens. A back to back off two road games against a rested team at home. That's probably a 10-12 point effect.
Well that sucks, tired legs, tired team. Get some rest and come back strong.
Bad loss, no doubt about it
Lillard was awful go figure

He played 41 minutes the previous night. Giannis played 37. Middleton played a season-high 27. Lopez was at 35.
With Green being injured and Portis missing for personal reasons, they were really screwed by the scheduling.
Portland played a home game on Sunday and had been home since a Friday game in LA. The Bucks played Saturday night in LA, then fly to Utah Sunday, played in Salt Lake City on Monday night, and then flew to Portland (a 2 hour flight) to play the Blazers Tuesday night.
The rest differential is idiotic.
I wonder what the issue is for Portis? Even with the travel schedule, if he's available the last two games I bet they win last night. It would have reduced minutes for everyone in both games and Middleton wouldn't have had to try to play the back to back when he clearly shouldn't have been doing that.
