Bucks score SIXTEEEN points in the 1st quarter.
Since they scored 13 points in the first 2:30 of last night's game, they scored 99 points over the next almost 5 quarters.
Their offense is broken.
Now up 22. OKC has no field goals in the first 7 minutes of the second half. 5 points all on FTs.
Bucks let a 22 point lead slip to 12 after 3 minutes gone in the 4th.
Good to see them get the W they needed it badly
They shot 40% and won... interesting that Augustine got the start and seemed to play better, Forbes got just 18 min. Middleton still in the midst of a big shooting slump.
The Bucks are not saying anything about Jrue Holiday. A little concerning... we know he had/has COVID. But the media silence seems a little excessive.
Giannis’ evolution offensively though is a thing to watch. He’s made some adjustments to how he attacks off the dribble. He has gotten smarter, giving a little hesitation that allows him a moment to see where the double is coming from. If you can get him in an iso, out on the wing, he faces up and with that little hesi he sees where the commitment is coming from.
But teams are pushing him away from his right hand. That’s the adjustment being made for where the double comes from. When he goes left, you know the spin is coming. He needs another option with the left hand.

I think Middleton has just become worn down. With Holiday out and the decision not to play Torrey Craig bigger minutes, he's had to guard the best wing on the opposing team big minutes every game. They really need another 3 and D guy (or to play Torrey Craig more minutes) even after Holiday is back.
If Holiday had a home exposure the quarantine period could go on much longer than the 10 day standard. You just hope he and his family are OK.

Yes. His wife (a retired elite athlete - 2X Women's Olympic soccer gold medalist) has had some health scares in the past.
