In their home opener, the Milwaukee Bucks left the Houston Rockets on the launching pad from tip-off, never trailing on their way to a convincing 125-105 victory. After a somewhat deferential opener in Philly, Giannis poured in 44 points on just 21 shots in a mere 28 minutes.
It became clear pretty early that the Baby Rockets could do very little against Giannis and Co., with the Bucks starting off on a 16-2 run, including the first 13 points unanswered. Milwaukee led 41-23 after one, shooting 65.2% and hitting 7 of their first 10 triples.
