Though the Greek Freak, Giannis Antetokounmpo, did not have the finest night of his career for the Bucks, he still managed to notch 15 points and 15 boards, and the Bucks did just enough to eke out a win at home against Atlanta.
The real star of this game for Milwaukee was the recently acquired Eric Bledsoe. Bledsoe only scored 14 points, but they all, critically, came in the second half of this game, including an absolutely unremorseful dunk on former Buck Ersan Ilyasova.
Bledsoe was also everywhere on defense. A few of his highlights included: Blocking a titanic John Collins dunk attempt, forcing Dennis Schröder to miss a point-blank layup after Schröd picked Bledsoe’s pocket and forcing Dennis to boot the ball out of bounds as he was bringing it up.
