Loud. Rambunctious. Deafening. All of those words and more described the atmosphere at the Bradley Center to start things out. It would continue all night, in a decimating 104-77 win for the Milwaukee Bucks. Definitive. Destructive. Delightful. This was a game plucked from Bucks fans’ dreams.
The most amazing part is Giannis didn’t even have to contribute extensively, finishing with 19 points, eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks. Khris Middleton showed out again with 20 points and seven assists, Greg Monroe had 16 points and seven rebounds before fouling out, and Thon Maker reached 11 points.
