Giannis starts 0 for 3 from the line and a three attempt that didn't hit the rim.
Bucks up 31-27 after one. Giannis with 11-5-3.
Lillard 0 for 3 and scoreless.
Dame drops a 3. 41-37 Bucks.
Easy lay up for Green!
Green hits a 3 from Waukesha!
Bucks with their best half since the OKC Cup game. Up 65-46.
Dame actually playing defense tonight. Green on fire.
Giannis with 15-9-6 at the half.
Bucks with a scoring barrage to go up 19. 65-46, at the half.
Middleton is coming off the bench. Probably the best role for him at this point. Let Ajax play defense to start and then have Khris come off the bench against the second unit guys.
Bucks were up 21, but lead down to 12 as Chris Paul starts hitting 3s and the Bucks half ass the defensive board.
Bucks playing some terrible basketball right now. Lead down to 8. Bucks quit putting effort in on the defensive end and now it's a game.
Huge 3 by Dame pushed it to 13. Timeout Spurs. Giannis playing well vs. Wemby
9/17 from 3 - Lopez & Dame
Bucks up 14 with 2 minutes left in the third with about 4 chances to push it further and commit just some idiotic turnovers. Now 11.
13 at the end of 3 as Middleton misses a wide open practice court type corner 3 that would have made it 16.
Let's see how they do when Giannis sits and Wemby is in to start the 4th.
Giannis at 22-14-7
Down to 10 as Portis misses two shots over Wemby.
Gary Trent Jr! Smokin hot! From downtown
Bucks by 15 with 9:00 left on the 4th Q
Giannis on the bench.
Bucks by 18 with Portis at the stripe splitting them 7:50 left
Gary Trent Jr. gets hot and the Bucks extend the lead in the non-Giannis minutes to start the 4th. Lead now 23.
Gary Trent Jr Baby!!!
109-86 Bucks up big! Timeout Spurs 6:52 left in the game.
Giannis passed Jabbar for most double-doubles in Bucks team history (432) now to Jabbars 431
Good win tonight. The defense, with the exception of part of the third quarter, was locked in.
Giannis with 25-16-8.
Hmm....π€ So these guys can flip the switch when necessary.
I'd much prefer they play consistently well on an upswing heading into April.
We got time yet.....
Sweeeeet win. Actually watched the game on ESPN. It was fun.
Another nice thing was that they assigned Giannis to guard Wembenyama and he pretty much shut him down. Wemby had 7 points in the first 5:30 (some in transition) and 3 the rest of the game. He did nothing in the halfcourt against Giannis.
