Let's see how they do tonight. The Bucks have often have trouble with these run and gun teams.

Rockets looked like they might surprise the Celtics tonight. They were up 9 with less than 3 minutes left, but Celtics look like they'll come back and win there. Already a 9-0 run in about 70 seconds to get it to even.
DeAaron Fox just roasted Crowder several times. Need to keep Holiday or Carter on him. Crowder had no chance.
Kings up after one. Go 6 for 11 from three. Bucks go 1 for 7 (Giannis with the only make).
Giannis is 9 for 11. The rest of the team is 5 for 17 on a lot of open looks.
Kings up 9 and killing the Bucks at the 3 point line right now (8 for 15).
This is going to be a long game. Giannis just picked up his second charge. Classic game plan - keep flopping and they'll eventually call them.
Bucks down 13 and the Kings are dominating them. Lopez and Middleton have been awful (1 for 8 from the field). Lopez getting roasted by Sabonis.
It's too early to call it because the Kings aren't exactly a shut-down defensive team, but with Giannis in foul trouble this could get to be 20+ points in the first half really quickly.
Bucks down 9 at the half. If they continue to play drop defense with Lopez out there, they'll lose by 20. As good as he is against most teams, the Kings are very similar to the Celtics in that he is getting played off the floor. Sabonis has 17-8-8 at the half.
Giannis at 21-7-2. Lopez has 11, but has cost them about 30 on the other end between Sabonis beating him for his own shot and setting up wide open shots for others.
Giannis is a monster tonight
Connaughton still a steaming pile of garbage as most of the season
That shitshow at the end of the game. #41 should definitely get a 1 game suspension. Lopez should get a fine and that's it. But we all know the Association will fuck this up
I didn't stay up to watch the second half, but I'll have to look at if they made an adjustment to how they were guarding Sabonis.
Middleton turned into 2021 Playoffs Middleton last night. Of course, the Kings don't play defense and Middleton has always torched teams that don't play him physically.
But, obviously if a team has no one to guard Giannis, they aren't going to win consistently against the Bucks. Harrison Barnes? Please. He was like a traffic cone out there. Sabonis trying to do it is high comedy.

They got it right for once 😂
I was thinking Lopez would get $50,000 and he only got $25K #Winning 😁
