With the seeding games finally in the rearview mirror following a thorough 119-106 thrashing of the Milwaukee Bucks by the Memphis Grizzlies, I venture to guess no Bucks fan will look back on this 8-game stretch with much fondness despite the four-month layoff from actual basketball. With no Giannis Antetokounmpo due to his headbutt, D.J. Wilson grabbed the reins and Milwaukee’s first quarter got off to a rocky start as they trailed Memphis 21-22.
And if the first quarter was rocky, the second was closer to an avalanche, with Milwaukee sputtering en route to a 60-50 disadvantage come halftime.
