On what was a hotly anticipated occasion due to the long overdue retirement of Marques Johnson’s No. 8 jersey, the Milwaukee Bucks produced a professional performance to ensure there was no letdown for the fans.
Sunday’s visit of the Cleveland Cavaliers likely took on an extra layer of focus considering the Bucks suffered a surprise defeat in Cleveland on Tuesday, but there were no such issues this time around.
The availability of Giannis Antetokounmpo made for one obvious difference between those two matchups, as did the presence of other role players who were sidelined for an incredibly short-handed Bucks team in that previous meeting.
