Bucks 128-140: Antitokonmo triple, a new problem for Milwaukee on its way to the playoffs

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored the 35th hat-trick in his career, Bobby Portis did things and miracles, and the Bucks bypassed Washington relatively easily (140-128), but they had problems and one more was added to them.

The 79th game of the regular season brought the Bucks to the US capital. The Wizards were without four of their five starters and a handful of starters, Milwaukee had to cover their own issues, but Giannis Antetokounmpo was there again to do the job (140-128), this time with plenty of people following him. for him.

The Elafias rose to 57-22 (31-8 at home and 26-14 away), who have now reached first place in the regular season and the absolute home advantage in the playoffs. Grayson Allen (sprain), Chris Middleton (handling) and Jevon Carter (cut to the foot) were ruled out, while Pat Connaughton sprained and left his ankle after just six minutes.

However, Mike Bodenholzer saw Greek Frick hit his 35 career triple-double (11/28/10), Bobby Portis has two first-inning doubles and hits 20/20, Jay Crowder-Brock Lopez fills in the stats and many in good form.

After losing to the Celtics in Philadelphia, the Bucks need to either win their last three games or lose Boston to have the best record in the NBA.

The Wizards fell to 34-45 (18-21 at home and 16-24), who lost the battle for the Play-In Championship anyway. Monty Morris, Dillon Wright, Bradley Bell, Kyle Kuzma, Denny Avdeja, Kristaps Porzingis and Wes Unseld saw a competitive face in the first half, but not much more than that. Remember Kendrick Nunn… Miami Heat’s Kendrick Nunn, Jay Huff, Johnny Davis, and Daniel Gafford impressed with their fighting abilities and that’s the end of the positives the key players had to offer.

He entered the game with a balance in attack and creation, and committed three errors in the first half, but had 8 points (2/3 2 shots, 4/5 shots), 6 rebounds and 2 assists in 8:24. His picture was the same in the second twelve minutes, and in the first half he had 17 points (5/7 two throws and 7/10 shots) in 17 minutes, in the third period he did an amazing job distributing the ball and switched to the second. Minutes before the final to find the pass he needed for the triple-double. He gave it up soon after, after an unimaginable stalking block, but his night was generally uneventful. You have reached this level.

Race

With the Connaughton Crowder in Allen Middleton’s positions, the Bucks didn’t have a good look at the start of the game. Holiday didn’t finish stages near the basket, the Wizards were excited, Giannis went more to create and less to score and the 29-32 of the period had put some pressure on the Milwaukee team.

Budenholzer lost Connaughton early with a sprain, and the home team put pressure on their team, but Portis and Matthews nailed the ball (7/7 3-pointers in the first half) and Milwaukee wasn’t threatened. Giannis and Holiday were on their way to a triple-double, and Deers’ first-half shots (62-75) from perimeter did their job and more than that.

Things got easier in the third period thanks to Crowder’s first long-range launch and then the irresistible creations of Antetokounmpo. The difference was over 20, remaining at 17 at the end of the twelve minutes, but the truth was that everyone had accepted the result. Budenholzer kept Giannis on the ground early in Game 4, for better or worse, but the Wizards were in no mood to give up the game.

The hosts have been reduced by 12 (104-116), but that’s it. Antetokounmpo made an unimaginable block, right after the 10th pass and the Bucks got the score without any problems, which gives them more guts given the playoffs.
