He scored 14 points and blocked five shots, but the contributions off the stat sheet — his “energy” and “activity” — stood out more to Bucks coach Joe Prunty.
“He made a lot of plays on both sides of the ball that are critical in terms of winning the game, in terms of hustle plays,” Prunty told reporters after Game 3.
