Wizards have already tackled Giannis on two drives in the first 4 minutes. Giannis goes 2 for 4 from the line.
Ingles is really good in games where the other team is limited defensively. Against the upper echelon teams, not so much.
Wizards' ballhandlers also run right at Ingles when they have a chance and get FTs.
Clearly a league wide scouting report.
Bucks only up 5 at the end of one because Porzingis has 18. Not good.
Bucks up 7. Portis and Connaughton both really look tired, a combined 1 for 8 from the floor. Portis' shots have barely hit the front of the rim.
Connaughton finally showing up after being invisible last night...
Javon bringing energy off the bench, one of the few Bucks who drives into the paint
Bucks up 16. Lopez misses two bunnies. Bucks blow the last minute and only lead by 10.
Lead down to 6.
I wonder if the Bucks have ever lost two consecutive games where they held 16 point or more leads in both.
Giannis might get called for that offensive foul on the challenge.
Lead down to 3 and maybe Wizards ball.
Giannis 5 of 9 from the line so far.
Ingles gets roasted AGAIN. Two point game.
Lead only 3 going to the 4th.
This would be a gritty win to hold on, but Giannis has been not been good and it's not clear how much Holiday or Lopez have left.
Bucks now behind
Blow an 18 point lead last night.
Might blow a 17 point lead tonight.
Bucks are running on fumes, but no excuses, the Wizards lost in OT last night. They seem to just want it more right now
Bucks have 4 fouls in the first 3 minutes of the quarter. Long time in the penalty for the Wizards.
Wizards with no fouls.
Giannis only 9 FGA so far...
Celtics the team to beat in the East...Bucks aren't at their level in terms of mental toughness
Halfway through the 4th. Bucks have 5 fouls. Wizards have none.
Bucks fail to get a rebound and the lead is down to 2.
Bucks had it to 5 and missed two wide open threes to get it to 8.
Lead down to 1.
WAS 48-24 in the paint
Holiday with one of the worst offensive possessions you'll ever see. Throws up an air ball from 10 feet that was 2 feet short with 10 seconds left on the shot clock. Looks like he just said F it and threw it up.
They let Beal get going, just like they let Harden go off yesterday, and it might bite them in the ass.
Ingles with an idiotic foul. Bucks only up 2 and turnover.
Allen huge 3...Bucks might steal this game despite seeming disinterested
Bucks up 8 with 48 seconds.
I see that Middleton didnât play again.
115-111 with :30 remaining. Come on Bucks. Play some defense.
Bucks up with 48 seconds and then give up a 5-0 run off a Carter turnover. Only up 4.
Lazy TO cuts it to 4 pts
Ugly but a win is a win
Giannis with a really cheap triple double at the end.

Wizards outfought them for most of the second half, but the Bucks closed when they had to in the last 4 minutes.

passing/ball movement overall good
Bench scored 41 pts led by Carter with 20
Ingles seems to be out of his shooting slump
Winning on the road against despite home team bringing their best effort
-
WAS 20-8 offensive rebounds
WAS 58-28 points in the paint
Bucks becoming a jump-shot team with 49 3-point attempts
*back-to-back games w/late arrival is probably a factor for the above

I think Giannis going for 55 the last time they played the Wizards made them prioritize stopping him and making the Bucks shooters beat them. Hence, 13 assists for Giannis and 49 3 point shots.
