Bucks down 35-34 midway through the second quarter.
Bucks are 3 for 16 from three. If you take out their two centers (Portis and Lopez), they are 0 for 10.
Holiday with another patented "playoff Holiday" game where his defense limits the opposition from scoring and his offense limits the Bucks from scoring. He's 3 for 10. G. Allen is 0 for 4.

Bucks down 4 after giving up a 16-4 fun.
They are 3 for 17 from three and Grayson Allen is now 0 for 6.
Carter with a 3. Bucks within 2.
Giannis with two air balls from three now.
Giannis with a bad air ball and out of bounds it goes. Nets' ball.
Giannis 3 for 10. Holiday 3 for 10. Allen 0 for 7.
Amazing they are only down 2.
Portis with a 3. Bucks back within 2, again.
O'Neale with his 4th 3, tonight.
Bucks get embarrassed in the second quarter. Bucks down 12. Other than Portis, they are all playing like shit.
4 for 22 from three.
Nets now up 12 after Kyrie's FTs and that's the half.
35-18 Nets second quarter.
Defensive 3 second violation on the Bucks. 2nd one tonight.
Giannis scoring while driving to the hoop. Maybe he should give up shooting 3s.
Grayson Allen with a 3. Bucks on a 7-0 run. Down 5.
Durant with the T foul.
Offensive foul on Durant. Bucks tie it up
T foul on Steve Nash! Make it two Ts. Nash tossed!
Portis with a block, fires up the crowd!
End of 3, Bucks by 2.
Bucks with some good D. Allen hustling on a block. Lopez with a block and Holiday with a steal.
7 for 33 from three.
Work the ball inside.
Just terrible offense right now.
I love Jrue Holiday, but he needs Middleton back more than anyone. He's just not a viable #2 option on a good team. The Bucks have played 2 games against playoff-level teams of the first 3. So far, he's 6 for 30 overall and 0 for 11 from three in those two games.
And just as I say that, Jrue hits a 3
Giannis with 33 THIS HALF
By the way, is there a worse max contract in the league than Ben Simmons? Holy hell is he completely shot mentally.
Why is Holiday backing anyone down at this point? Get the ball to Giannis. They can't guard him.
Bucks up 10 with 1:40.left in the game. Make it 9 as Durant hits a FT.
Hill, diving for the ball, hits his chin on the court. He was slow getting up
Bucks win 110-99.
Giannis had 43-14-5 tonight with 3 blocks. He was 16 for 25 from the floor. Ben Simmons is a head case, but he is still a very good defensive player. Giannis made him look like a middle schooler trying to guard him.
And it wasn't as good as the previous game, where Giannis went 44-12-3 and 17 for 21 from the floor.
33 for 46 from the floor, 3 for 7 from three, 18 for 27 from the line.
With no Middleton and Holiday not exactly lighting it up.
Giannis’ performance in the second half was akin to Dikembe Mutombodhaking shaking his finger at the Nets.
Impressive stuff.
Pretty incredible 2nd half effort by Giannis. Holiday and Lopez were good yet again on D.
If you are Brooklyn I have no idea what you do with Simmons. He’s still a good defender, but 4-5 points? With that contract? Yikes

Kyrie screamed at him at one point "Ben - shoot the ball" loud enough so you could hear it over the broadcast. I think he was under the basket all alone for a layup and Simmons threw it back outside.

Lucky for him he assisted on a Durant shot or the press would be going ape shit over it today.
