After falling to Washington three weeks ago, the Milwaukee Bucks got some revenge by rolling to a 131-115 win over the Wizards at the Capital One Arena.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 37 points and 10 rebounds while making all 17 of his free throws for the Bucks.  Brook Lopez added 21 points on 7-of-9 shooting, Khris Middleton added 20 points, seven rebounds and six assists and Malcolm Brogdon added 15 points.

Eric Bledsoe was held out of the lineup with a sore left achilles.  Tony Snell started in his place and finished with 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting.

The Bucks (38-13) improved to 3-1 on their five-game road trip, winning their third straight game.  They’ll wrap up the road trip Monday night in Brooklyn against the Nets.

Washington dropped to 22-30 with the loss.

Bucks run win streak to five

By

Giannis Antetokounmpo poured in 31 points and pulled down 15 rebounds to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 116-106 win over the Dallas Mavericks in a Martin Luther King Jr. matinée.

As it turned out, Giannis never got to square off against his brother Kostas after the Mavericks called him up from their G-League affiliate, but perhaps that will come on a different day.

The Bucks struggled in the second quarter, both offensively and defensively, but they made up for it in the second half.

Six players finished in double figures.  Besides Antetokounmpo, Eric Bledsoe had 21 points and Malcolm Brogdon added 19.  Brook Lopez had 16 points and 10 rebounds while Khris Middleton had 13 points.  Off the bench, Sterling Brown had 11 points. [Read more…]

The Milwaukee Bucks opened 2019 with another victory.  With a 121-98 win over the Detroit Pistons at Fiserv Forum, the Bucks capped off the night with the best winning percentage in the NBA.

Center Brook Lopez hit seven three-pointers (7 of 12) and led all five Bucks starters in double figures with 25 points.  Khris Middleton added 22 points for the Bucks, who won their fourth straight and seventh in the last eight games.

Blake Griffin finished with 29 points and Reggie Jackson added 19, but the Bucks held the Pistons to 38-percent shooting from the field.

The Bucks had a big shooting night, hitting 70% from the field in the first half and 59.5-percent for the game.

The Bucks get a couple of days off.  They’ll host the Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors on Friday and Saturday nights.

Giannis Antetokounmpo poured in 31 points and added 14 rebounds, eight assists and four blocks to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 112-96 win over the visiting New York Knicks on Thursday night at Fiserv Forum.

The frustrations mounted for the Knicks, who watched Antetokounmpo dominate on Christmas Day in New York, then do so again Thursday night.

With around 10 minutes left in the game, Enes Kanter hit Giannis with a shot to his face, which didn’t draw a foul call.  Kanter’s eye was already bloodied from an earlier play.  As Antetokounmpo moved back up the floor, he and Kanter came together, with Kanter yelling at Giannis.

Bucks assistant coach Darvin Ham quickly left the bench to separate the two.  After an official review, Kanter was assessed a pair of technical fouls and ejected.  Antetokounmpo received one technical. [Read more…]

The Milwaukee Bucks managed to hit just six of their 32 three-point shots and missed 17-straight during one stretch.  But their defense was solid and their work in the paint was more than enough to pull out a 109-95 win over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 30 points and added 14 rebounds, four steals, three assists and two blocks to help the Bucks play and win on Christmas Day for the first time since 1977.

The Bucks still haven’t lost back to back games.  The win marked the 10th time this season that the Bucks have followed a loss with a victory.

The Bucks defense combined for 10 steals and seven blocked shots and challenged the Knicks shooting from beyond-the-arc. [Read more…]
