No Giannis? No Middleton? No problem for the Bucks. They’d defeat the Washington Wizards, 114-102.
The Bucks would have no trouble in getting off to a fast start to this one. Right out of the gates, they opened up a double-digit lead. Jrue Holiday got off to another strong start, totaling ten points in the opening frame. It’d be the leading cause of the Bucks’ 32-13 first quarter lead.
Milwaukee’s massive lead would continue through the second. Jevon Carter continued his strong play, connecting on a pair of threes that fueled the Bucks’ lead even more. Even despite the absences of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton, the Bucks had no trouble in establishing dominance in this one.
