Bucks were up big, but let another backup guy go crazy from three. Grimes has 25 points in the middle of third on 7 threes

Knicks down 9 and staying in it by hitting 7 threes in the first 9 minutes of the third
Bucks up 14 after three.
Bud didn't screw around today. Cousins was getting roasted so he subbed Giannis back in with 1 minute left and the Bucks got easy buckets both of the last 2 possessions to take the lead from 10 to 14.
Giannis played a pretty passive game for him today, and he ends with a triple double (20-10-11).
Rodney Hood with his best game in years today. 14 points on 5 for 5 from the field. 3 assists and 1 turnovers.
Middleton with his 7th game in a row over 20 points.
Bucks need more from Middleton- like today.
In December, Middleton is posting 22/6/5 averages while shooting 40% from 3 and 90%+ from the line.
For a guy that’s playing 33 minutes per game that’s pretty efficient.
The guys that are putting up better numbers are playing more minutes and taking more shots. Personally, I don’t want Middleton playing 35+ minutes per game. He’s had a long offseason and since he also plays defense I don’t want him worn out come playoff time.
Devin Booker is putting up almost identical offensive numbers yet averages almost 2 less boards and assists per game and no one is talking about him.
Yet both Milwaukee and Phoenix are (still) two of the three or four best teams in the league.
