Bucks down 3 midway through the second. Bucks giving up a lot of second-chance points to the Rockets.

And, for a second game in a row, the Bucks are allowing backups to go off from three. Rockets 8 for 17 so far.
Bucks getting their asses handed to them right now. Down 10.
Rockets 11 for 20 from three right now. We used to get irritated at Lopez for drop defense, but this is just poor defense in general.
G. Mathews has hit some long shots, but for some reason, they keep letting him shoot.
To give up 42 points with this defense? Good fucking grief…
The Bucks down 7. A horrible defensive half to give up 12 threes.
They've given up 139 points the last two halves against the Heat and the Rockets.
They might as well trade Jordan Nwora for a loaf of bread at this point. He has not seen the floor for any important stretch of minutes in weeks.
Portis getting really exposed. And teams have been isolating him and attacking him on the boards. This is why they miss Lopez.
Down 5 after three quarters.
Rockets now with 16 three pointers.
Bucks getting embarrassed again by bench guys and backups. In Miami, it was a G league guy (Caleb Martin) and Strus going for 44 points.
Tonight it's G. Mathews and Sengun with 36 through three quarters.
How the heck are we losing to a 9-16 team???

3 point defense - just like against Miami. Partially guys getting hot. Partially lacking another good defensive backcourt player in the second unit (George Hill being out forces Hood to play more minutes).
15-3 run… but Bucks getting hammered inside still.
Nice finish.
Giannis went for 41-17-5 with 3 steals and 2 blocks. 14-16 from inside the arc, 1 for 3 from three, and 10-14 from the line.
And it didn't seem like anything out of the ordinary.
Gordon hit a 3 at 5:09 left- Rockets scored 5 points the rest of the way.
Giannis with 41-17-5-3-2.
