In an effort that would have looked far worse versus a team with more established NBA talent, the Bucks head into the All-Star break after suffering their most deflating loss of the season to the Memphis Hustle injury-depleted Grizzlies, who were on the second night of a back-to-back. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 35 points and Damian Lillard had 24, but general indifference and languor sunk Milwaukee in the second half. Ziaire Williams and GG Jackson each poured in 27 for the home team.
Game Summary
Thanks to some early makes from deep, the Bucks established a small lead after some back and forth in the opening minutes.
