The Milwaukee Bucks conclude their four-game road trip Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center without Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Minnesota went on a 7-0 run from there to close out the half and go up a dozen. Tonight unfortunately, obviously, not the result we wanted but it was good to get out there and let some fly in game action. Later in the second quarter, Timberwolves forward Reid and Portis were each assessed technical fouls for going back-and-forth verbally following a foul on a Holiday drive to the basket. Coaches in the video room’s done a great job closing out, letting me feel it when I do shoot and the guy hits your hand at the end because I think that happens a lot in this league, especially on guys that can shoot. Minnesota outscored Milwaukee 10-8 after the ejections to take a 34-28 lead into the second quarter. I think that and the offensive boards kind of stood out to me. But the turnovers were a big part of them kind of allowing them to get separation from us.” According to NBA rules, Beverley was ejected for exacerbating the altercation. As a result, the Timberwolves went 22-for-26 from the free throw line while the Bucks were 14-for-17. Lopez rejoined the starting lineup for the first time since opening night and played 20 minutes in his third game since returning from back surgery. Antetokounmpo was ruled out with right knee soreness and missed a game for the first time since Feb. 14. It’s something that regardless of who’s out there we think we have enough guys to win the game.”
The Milwaukee Bucks and Minnesota Timberwolves are facing off in Minnesota on Saturday evening, and for the game they have announced their injury reports.
Before missing the playoffs for two straight seasons, they had made the NBA Finals five times in a row. * STEPH AND THE WARRIORS ARE ON FIRE: The Golden State Warriors have not made the playoffs in two seasons, but that appears likely to change this season. They have been one of the best teams in the entire NBA, and Steph Curry is having an MVP-caliber year.

Another yikesfest 3rd quarter ends in an L for the Bucks without Giannis.
As is tradition, we got a Patrick Beverley spat in this one with Serge and Taurean Prince jostling for a rebound before Bev came in and shoved Serge in the back. Initially, the Bucks 3-point shooting was keeping them in the game as they hovered around 50% for the first half. Milwaukee has always made hay in the Bud era by not fouling their opponent, but today the Wolves had a masive free throw rate (23.9) compared to the Bucks opponent season average of 16.5. On top of that, the Wolves took every opportunity the Bucks turned it over to manufacture points. It was a promising sign given the potential for shooting woes with the injury to his shooting hand. Yes, he missed his first three-pointer, but the more important part of it was how he still had the same “catch the ball high and immediately release” that we’ve seen added to his game this season. With Giannis Antetokounmpo an afternoon scratch, one couldn’t expect the Milwaukee Bucks to definitively deliver a victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but you would’ve hoped for a slightly better fight than the 119-138 game we got Saturday afternoon.
Minnesota's Patrick Beverley was ejected from Saturday's win after shoving Serge Ibaka; the Bucks' George Hill was tossed by the officials as well.

George Hill and Brook Lopez have logged 10+ minutes in both games this week and will probably do the same today, and with Pat Connaughton (probably) back, that’s another bench guy who is probably deserving of some burn. We’re set for as good a late-season matchup as you can get in cross-conference play when the Milwaukee Bucks meet the Minnesota Timberwolves this afternoon. That its a late-afternoon/early evening tip-off to allow some of our international fans a chance to watch live is just a cherry on top.

The Milwaukee Bucks are on the last of a four-game road trip as they head into Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves. It's time to continue our ...
They currently rank third in blocked shots, so not letting the Bucks get easy shots will be a big indicator of whether the Wolves can pull off this win or even cover the spread. Therefore, the best bet is to take a motivated Milwaukee team looking to avoid a sweep. In the win over Milwaukee, Edwards provided 25 points on 9 for 24 shooting from the field. The Wolves will cover the spread if they can slow Antetokounmpo and force him to redirect the ball to his teammates. Edwards will be a key factor for them as he was in the previous game. The Bucks have consistently been one of the best teams in the NBA throughout the last couple of seasons, and this year is no different. Antetokounmpo is pacing the Bucks with 29.8 points per game, while also being their master on the boards, grabbing 11.5 rebounds per game. He scored 29 points on 12 for 25 shooting, including 3 for 11 from beyond the arc. The Bucks are 7-1 in March, including 2-1 on this road trip, the only loss coming to the Warriors. Getting both these players back will give Antetokounmpo and Middleton the support they need, and it could provide the difference. The Timberwolves are coming off a 124-104 smashing of the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night. The Bucks are coming off a 135-126 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night.
