Bucks

Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo celebrated his confirmation as an NBA All-Star team captain by pouring in 41 points to propel the Bucks to a 141-131 NBA ...

Fred VanVleet had 28 points and 10 assists for the Raptors, who lost O.G. addressed a tweet before the game to Nichols's family saying "my teammates and I are and have been paying attention. We can't wait to get back home to put our arms around everyone in Memphis as they struggle with the senseless loss of life." We are with you." The NBA said in a statement it remained "committed to partnering with advocates, policymakers and law enforcement to work toward solutions to the issues we continue to face," the league said. The Bucks scored a season-high 85 first-half points and led by as many as 33 before fending off a late Pacers rally in Indianapolis, notching a third straight victory.

Pat and Giannis bullied the Pacers from inside and outside early (choosing to forget the near Giannis airball three). The supporting cast chipped in as the ...

The Pacers struggled to decide what defensive strategy would work best against Bucks lineups that could punish them inside, fall back on mid-range shotmaking (courtesy of Khris), and was also hot from deep. The Bucks continued to look out of sorts, then this dork showed up... The supporting cast chipped in as the period went along and a 9-16 performance from deep led to the 45-30 lead.

The NBA is turning into position-less basketball more and more, so I organized the Milwaukee Bucks into categories based on their offensive and defensive ...

This allows him to roam the court and clog up the lane. Carter loves to pester ball-handlers the entire length of the court and does a great job at it. Allen, Connaughton and Nwora also spend most of their time guarding wings, although not of the same caliber as Holiday. Holiday, Middleton, Antetokounmpo and Ingles are the primary shot creators for Milwaukee; they are responsible for finding their own shots and discovering open ones for their teammates as well. In a small step to de-position basketball, I will break down the Milwaukee Bucks’ roster based on their role at each end of the court. The skills NBA players of all heights and “positions” have developed allow them to play multiple roles for their team no matter what box we want to place them in.

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 41 points and the Bucks had 85 first-half points and the Pacers' second half-comeback wasn't enough Friday.

He was 7 of 18 from the line, grabbed 12 rebounds and had six assists. Hield finished with 19 of his 22 points in the second half. The Pacers didn't take the foot off the pedal in the fourth quarter and remarkably came within seven points of taking the lead. They posted 32 points in the paint in the first half, an incredible 1.48 points per possession. The Pacers slowed down at that point, though, and the Bucks didn't until after halftime. The Pacers didn't see a full-strength Bucks squad when the two teams met in Milwaukee on Jan.

Giannis Antetokounmpo tallied his ninth 40-point game this season, as he once again led the way for the Bucks with 41 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists.

Milwaukee stayed hot in the second period, where it dumped 40 points on Indiana and led by a mile at the bend, 85-56. Indiana made the game more interesting when it moved within 121-129 after a three-pointer by Buddy Hield with 4:06 left.

A strong start helps the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Indiana Pacers

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 41 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as the Milwaukee Bucks held on for a 141-131 win over the host Indiana Pacers on Friday night ...

Mitchell aggravated the injury in Tuesday's loss to the Knicks. Memphis' Ja Morant contributed 27 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds for his fourth triple-double of the season. The Pacers were without Tyrese Haliburton for the ninth game in a row. had 14 for the Grizzlies. In a scoring onslaught for Milwaukee, Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton complemented Antetokounmpo with 23 and 17 points, respectively. Myles Turner led the way for Indiana with 24 points, with Buddy Hield close behind with 22.

- Joe Ingles claimed to Zora Stephenson that he invented the “catch high, shoot high” motion. They shot 35.9% against the Cavaliers in their only loss in that span. - I appreciate that Wes Matthews regularly finds himself underneath the basket going to war for offensive rebounds. The second quarter was more of the same for Milwaukee, with a closing lineup of Jrue Holiday, Pat, Khris Middleton, Ingles, and Lopez really clicking on all offensive cylinders to close the quarter. In particular, I was floored by the recovery speed he showed time and time again. A crucial matchup Jrue dominated to help bring home the win. Every Buck not named Giannis struggled to make anything happen — Grayson, Pat, and Jevon Carter each made a basket, and that was it — and the Pacers kept chipping away. All season long he has been asked to carry more than his fair share of the team’s fortunes, and at times it looked to wear him out a bit. We dare not declare Khris “all the way back” just yet, but the 15 minutes he played last night were encouraging as he notched 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. He sets a hard screen, almost gets knocked over, recovers to turn and sprint towards the paint to pay off a Holiday P&R pass. TJ McConnell couldn’t miss a reverse layup if he tried and Buddy Hield — Indy’s most dangerous microwave scorer — contributed 16 points of his own having played all 12 minutes of the third quarter. Antetokounmpo would finish with 41 points (16-29 from the floor), 12 rebounds, and 6 assists.
