After not playing many of their regulars on Monday night in Chicago, the Milwaukee Bucks used their starters on Wednesday night and cruised to a 133-99 win over the Utah Jazz at Fiserv Forum.
Giannis Antetokounmpo took the ball to the rim time after time, getting multiple dunks to finish with 22 points 11 rebounds and four assists in 20+ minutes of playing time.
Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez added 14 points each. Wes Matthews joined the starters on Wednesday night and finished with eight points, three rebounds and two assists in 17 minutes.
Donte DiVincenzo bounced back from a poor shooting night in Chicago on Monday by scoring 10 points on 4 of 7 shooting. He added four rebounds, two assists and two steals.
Kyle Korver played his first game for the Bucks and took three shots, making all three of his three-pointers for nine points. Thanasis Antetokounmpo also finished with 9 points and five rebounds.
Bucks starting point guard Eric Bledsoe did leave the game in the second quarter with an oblique strain. The Bucks are hoping that’s an injury that won’t keep him out long.
The Bucks are 2-0 in exhibition play and will travel to Dallas to face the Mavericks on Friday night.
