The Milwaukee Bucks may have let the Sacramento Kings get a sniff of victory in the late stages of this game, but they pulled on their championship mettle to shut down the younger Sacramento and grab a 135-126 victory. Donte DiVincenzo may have played his finest game of the season, but even 19 points couldn’t get it done against a hot-shooting Milwaukee team.
A sloppy first quarter for the Bucks brought back some of their old stalwarts, turnovers and allowing second chances, with the Kings taking a 31-28 lead after one. Milwaukee re-took some control in the second quarter behind a balanced scoring attack, with a Giannis Antetokounmpo pre-halftime thunderous slam helping put the Bucks up 68-61.
