Time out Washington, after Allen's 3. Bucks lead 14-5.
At the end of the 1st Q, Bucks 24, Wizards 20.
Interesting that Nwora can't even get minutes with George Hill out.
Just got home from work. Looking good at this point.
Is Holiday playing? I haven't seen him on the floor since I started watching.
Wizards block 3 of the Bucks' last 4 shots. Lucky for the Bucks that the Wizards' offense is bad.

Yes, he started. Holiday's brother is playing for the Wizards, tonight.
OK, the guy down for the wizards was apparently tied up with Allen. I hope this wasn't due to some type of cheap shot from Allen.
Announcers are ragging on the Bucks' 3rd Quarter defense and they are right!
This is patented third quarter Bucks problems. As soon as they have to go the bench guys they have trouble
And the announcers stated the obvious. They are missing Brook.
Stan Van Gundy speculating on if the Bucks need to go out and get a big body on defense. I've been saying for a few weeks now, how much they miss Lopez's defense. Tucker too, for that matter.
Why did they let Cousins go? He was passable at least.
The problem is that ownership let Tucker walk in the offseason and released Cousins to save money. That's the only reason for those decisions. They could have released Ojeleye or Hood instead of Cousins, but they had guaranteed contracts.
The failure to resign Tucker may have helped give the East title to Miami. That was indefensible.
So, now we get to watch teams come back against their bench with Connaughton or Wes Matthews trying to guard guys that are 5 inches taller and have 40 pounds on them.
Bucks lead is down to 2 with 10:37 left in the game.
Tied with a terrible team minus their best player after giving up a 17 point lead. Even if they end up winning this, it's a second consecutive pathetic performance.
Down 3. An absolute embarrassment.
Wide open 3s and layups.
Bucks 8 for 31 from three and have no answers on defense. Wizards are playing some guys that are borderline G league players.
Connaughton blows a point blank layup and the Wizards get an open 3 on the other end. From 9 to 4 just like that.
Giannis finally taking over under the basket...
