The Sacramento Kings came into snowy Milwaukee as red hot as they’ve been all season, having won 3 in a row and 6 of their last 8 games. Still, they were 10.5 point underdogs, even with the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who missed the game due to the birth of his son. But the Bucks raised their record to 5-0 on the season when the Greek Freak is missing, despite a solid effort from Sacramento.
Things looked like they could get ugly quickly during the first quarter when the Kings were outscored by 14 points, going just 1 for 8 from beyond the arc while Milwaukee shot was 5 of 11.
