After a slog on opening night in Philly, what better way to perk up a sluggish offensive start than a visit from the Houston Rockets? It’s just what the Bucks needed for their home opener, cruising to a 125-105 wire-to-wire victory. Naturally, if offense was what Milwaukee needed, Giannis Antetokounmpo was there to provide, awing the Fiserv Forum crowd with a sensational 44 points on 17/21 shooting, needing just under 28 minutes to get there. Second-year guard Jalen Jalen Green led Houston with 22.
Giannis, Brook Lopez, and Jrue Holiday started this game with a combined 10/10 from the field and 29 points, including 5/5 from three.
