Bucks getting boat raced right now. Down 23-13. Giannis 5 for 8 from the line and looks a little better there, but the team continues to struggle on offense. With Middleton out, there is no one to create offense in the half court as Holiday is too prone to turnovers and Giannis sees a wall. The other guys can't make enough shots to make teams pay for collapsing on Giannis.
Bucks take a timeout and set up a play for Giannis to air ball from 12 feet.
Bucks rescue an otherwise terrible quarter by going on a 10-1 run during the last 90 seconds to be down 30-25 at the quarter.
Jevon Carter with two threes to keep them close.
Bucks may want to try guarding the three point line. Cavs are 6 for 10.
Bucks down 12 in the second. They continue to look completely out of sorts on offense, and they have really for about the last 6 or so games.
Bucks down 14. Holiday picks up his third foul halfway through the second quarter and the Bucks continue to run offense through Grayson Allen who looks like shit as soon as he has to dribble
Bucks down 16 after a dunk on another Grayson Allen screw up.

The 9-0 start to the season was a bit of a mirage. Their new defensive scheme was so good it covered up some real problems on offense. Now that teams have a scouting report for this season's defense, they've started to score more and the Bucks offense hasn't gotten any better.
Bucks down 11 at the half. Mitchell and Garland combine for 38 points.
Giannis had 22, but pretty much everyone else was crappy on offense.
Bucks get it back to 65-64 as Giannis dunks on consecutive possessions to force another Cavs TO.
Bucks 23-2 run ends with Nwora checking in, giving up a terrible turnover, and allowing the Cavs to get two FTs.
For God's sakes Bud, get Nwora out. Another wild possession that doesn't draw iron and the Cavs get another 2 FTs off the transition. 10 point lead down to 6 almost all because of him.
Nwora blows two layups on the same possessions, but keeps hustling and gets another layup with an and one.
One of the most dominating Bucks quarters in the Bud era. 35-10 to go up 14 going to the fourth against one of the hottest teams in the NBA.
Giannis hot dogging too much. Tries to feed himself off the backboard.
Bucks 19 point lead has fallen to 12. Need to finish this out and not waste a huge run.
