The Milwaukee Bucks handled the Philadelphia 76ers 119-98. The first half was a beautiful pairing of swishing and flowing offense with solid and pesky defense. The second half wasn’t, but the Bucks held steady for the win. The absence of Luc Richard Mbah a Moute’s protege didn’t help matters for the home team, who continue to compile a dreadful record without him. Still, the Bucks took care of business, even with our own fragile star sidelined. Damian Lillard led the way with 24 points, nine rebounds, and seven steals, to the tune of a +37 plus-minus.
