Starters for Denver are Jokic, Braun, Murray, Porter, Jr, and Gordon. Bucks start Giannis, Dame, Lopez, Prince and Kuzma.
Bucks up early, 11-5.
3 pointer by Kuzma gets Denver to call a time out. 14-5 Bucks.
Sloppy passing by both Giannis and Dame.
Westbrook cutting into the Bucks' lead with some solid shooting. Denver on a 10-2 run.
Westbrook brings Denver within 1. 22-21 Bucks.
22-21 Bucks. Dame has been off.
Denver out hustling the Bucks in transition.
Dame has just been horrendous. Looks like a rookie. Beyond embarrassing. 0 for 2 with 4 terrible turnovers in 11 minutes
Tight game as the 1st winds down. Looks to be tied 30-30 after 1

And then hits a contested 3 at the buzzer to tie it at 30 at the end of 1.
Jokic with 16-5-3
All tied at 30 after Dame drains a 3, at the end of 1.
Sims comes in and misses two toilet seaters, for Milwaukee.
Doc tries a Giannis and Dame-less lineup again. Looks like a complete trainwreck on offense, except Kuzma is bailing the other guys out.

If Sims could even consistently hit layups, he'd be a starting caliber player. He does make Jackson Jr. look like a good offensive player in comparison
Reggie Miller might as well be performing fellatio on Westbrook right now. It's nauseating. He's made some good plays and Miller gushes. Westbrook puts up an air ball from 15 feet and there is silence in the booth for 6 seconds.
Pathetic defense right now. Just gave up a wide open 3 on a dead ball.
Jokic kills everyone, but I don't understand why you don't put Giannis on him.
It's sad for me to say this, but Jokic has been hustling more than Giannis tonight. Giannis will stand still 10 feet from the basket and not try to offensive rebound (or even try to get back on defense) and Jokic pounds the offensive glass.
At the half, Bucks 54, Denver 57.
Bucks trail by 3 at the half. Dame has continued to be absolutely terrible. He's 2 for 6 with 4 turnovers. Bucks are 5 for 19 from three.
The Bucks starting frontcout (Kuzma, Giannis, and Lopez) has played well - they are 14 for 26 from the floor. The rest of the team is 7 for 22.
Bucks by 3 on the transition play by Giannis!
Giannis has not shot a FT tonight. He's been hacked at least 4 times with no call.
Lopez with a huge block!

And then Giannis gets fouled and bricks both FTs.

And then Lopez bricks one as well.
Bucks had led by 7 with the ball, but the completely blow the last minute and only lead by 3 as Lopez misses an uncontested layup with 2 seconds left.
84-81 Bucks after 3.
AJ Green gets hot to start the 4th and the Bucks open up a 9 point lead.
AJ GREEN BACK TO BACK 3s!
Bucks lead by 8 with 5 minutes left.
Jokic can't guard anyone in space. Lopez just blew by him for an and one. Giannis did too, but Giannis blows by a lot of guys.
WTF are they doing on offense right now? Get Giannis into the actions late in the 4th. Lopez taking 28 footers? Kuzma shooting fadeaways?
Dame with what should be the dagger. Bucks up 11 with 55 seconds left.
Lillard with the dagger!
What a feed to Giannis!
121-112 Bucks win!
