The Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Memphis Grizzlies 113-110 last night in the NBA action.
It just doesn’t seem to be clicking. Doc Rivers has yet to find his stride since replacing Adrian Griffin, as the Milwaukee Bucks appear to be struggling under his leadership.
This was confirmed in yet another game, this time against one of the league’s weakest teams, who managed to ‘measure up’ to one of the biggest title contenders, as projected.
From the very beginning, the first and second quarters were characterized by a back-and-forth battle, with neither team managing to pull ahead.
The third quarter brought about a different scenario, as the Milwaukee Bucks faltered defensively, allowing their opponents to score 37 points. This enabled the Memphis Grizzlies to build a nine-point lead, which proved crucial in securing their eventual win.
“Klay Thompson started from the bench for the first time since his rookie season”
The most deserving for this were GG Jackson and Ziaire Williams with 27 points each, while Giannis Antetokounmpo led the defeated with 35 points.
In a somewhat historic game, considering Klay Thompson started from the bench for the first time since his rookie season, the Golden State Warriors outplayed the Utah Jazz 140-137.
Despite a slightly lower scoring performance from Stephen Curry – 16 points, the rest of the team stepped up – shooting 20/42 from three, with Thompson hitting seven threes out of 13 attempts and finishing the game with 35 points, while Draymond Green stopped at 25.
The opponent was led by Collin Sexton with 35 points.
The Minnesota Timberwolves were dominant against the Portland Trail Blazers with a score of 128-91. The most prominent performers were Anthony Edwards with 34 points and Karl-Anthony Towns with 23 points. Jerami Grant led the defeated with 20 points.
