Balanced scoring helped Milwaukee carry a lead into the first quarter, 24-23. This was despite Jalen Duren inflicting his force early on, as he finished the first quarter with nine points and five rebounds.
Bobby Portis came alive to begin the second quarter, igniting the crowd with his passion and energy. It’d fuel a 19-2 Milwaukee run and really create some separation. Damian Lillard sparked a strong closeout to the quarter, handing the Bucks a 62-52 lead at intermission.
