Bucks getting lit up from the three point line to start. Seems like a broken record.
Jazz already with 22 points in less than 5 and a half minutes.

Bucks were keeping up with them. Portis missed a 3 and Jazz opened up. Bucks brought Matthews in for some defense, too.
Middleton fouled while shooting from 3 land.
Bucks give up TEN threes in the first but somehow only trail by 2.
Jazz on pace to go 40 for 72 over the course of a full game. Averaging a three point attempt every 45 seconds and a made three almost every minute.
Lopez on the floor! Lopez is pumped! A great thing for the Bucks!
Giannis, Middleton, Holiday, Lopez, and J. Carter is an insanely good defensive lineup.
No coincidence the three point defense got a LOT better when they sat Portis and G. Allen. Playing those two simultaneously causes a lot of problems for the Bucks' defense.
Bucks with a 9 point lead at the half. 68-59.
If Lopez is healthy, it really changes things.
Giannis, Holiday, Lopez, Middleton, J. Carter, Matthews, George Hill, Ibaka, and Connaughton are all really good defensive players. Portis and G. Allen are the only weak defenders and at least Portis gives moderately good rim protection.
I think Nwora is done playing anything outside of garbage time.
Yeah, especially since Hill is back. Nwora's playing time will be significantly reduced. Even more so when Bembry and Connaughton come back.

Bembry is out for the year. He tore his MCL and ACL last game.
Jazz go 7-0 to start the second half. Again, Portis and G. Allen are both in. I think he has to adjust to minimize how much those guys play simultaneously
I think that foul on Allen was a flagrant 1. Ruled a common foul by the refs.
Now a 10-0 run by the Jazz to start the half. All 5 Bucks starters have missed one shot in the first 2:49 of the second half.

Yep. If it was Allen who did it they'd have probably thrown him out.
Jazz now open the quarter 18-4. Bucks just completely shit the bed to start the quarter. Horrible.
Jazz up by 10. Typical 3rd Quarter for Milwaukee
Giannis has been embarrassed by Whiteside tonight. Maybe the worst quarter I've ever seen him play this year in this third quarter.
Bucks outscored 30-11 in the second half.
Also looks like Lopez is running out of gas, which is understandable given his time off.
Latest Jazz run is 16-2.
Follows a 13-0 run to start the second half.
Bucks fight back from double digits down to get it to within 4 with Giannis and Middleton sitting.
Bucks down by 4 at the end of the 3rd Quarter. Thankful that's over!
Curious how Giannis is always in serious foul trouble on the road headed into the fourth.
Nwora can make coffee runs for the rest of the team.
Oh shit, Lopez is actually playing tonight? Outstanding.
When is Connaughton due to return?
That’s a game changer for the Bucks. Lopez will need to get his legs back, but his return does wonders for our rotational depth.
Whiteside is really giving Giannis trouble, but Giannis only getting 4 FTs is ridiculous.
And then they overturn the foul call on Whiteside to add to Giannis's woes.

I thought I heard somewhere around the 21st for Connaughton
