With many absences, the Bucks lost to the Thunder in Oklahoma City (124-101) and will play one last match with the Grizzlies before the start of the regular season. Giannis Antetokounmpo is rested at 10/18, and Damian Lillard is out.
The Thunder’s third straight loss in the preseason, this time to the Thunder in Oklahoma City early Wednesday (10/18). Milwaukee was defeated 124-101, with Giannis Antetokounmpo playing 25 minutes two nights after returning to the court after 172 days and the 15 minutes he got against the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Greek Frick had some incredible moments, filling his stats and recording a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds, but Adrian Griffin did not have the important players (Jae Crowder, Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis) to draw conclusions about in Milwaukee. Team events. Damian Lillard was down (5 points, 2/6 2-pointers, 0/5 3-pointers, 1/3 steals, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 1 foul in 24:45), with Malik Beasley getting the Winning Impressions (20 points, 6/11 3-pointers) Rookie Andre Jackson applauds his dynamism and athleticism.
Also playing a lot was Thanasis Antetokounmpo (6 points, 1/3 2-pointers, 1/1 3-pointer, 1/2 shot in 17:51), who missed two easy attempts near the basket. The Bucks’ next and final opponent in the preseason is the Grizzlies at Fiserv Forum on Saturday morning (10/21) at 03:00. The regular season opener will take place early next Friday (10/27) at 2:30, at home against the Sixers’ Joel Embiid and possibly James Harden.
As for thunder? They put on a good face, with Josh Giede, Jaylen Williams, and Chet Holmgren showing up on a night when C. Gilgeous-Alexander just stepped on the gas. Vasilije Micic showed very “heavy”, playing 14:38 minutes, getting one point from half a shot, two rebounds and seven assists.
Giannis Antetokounmpo account
He entered with 4 points and four rebounds in the first six minutes, played the second half of the first period at center due to the absence of Brook Lopez and finished the twelve minutes with 8 points (3/4 2-pointers, 2/2 field goals). And 5 rebounds and 2 steals at 10:13. He played a lot in the second half as well, in the first half he had 10/7/1/3 in 16:56, and we also saw him in the third period when he looked for creation a little bit because he didn’t have any special reason to push himself and score more. He had a good practice, put in a great effort, and now he’s looking forward to having as complete a roster as possible for regular season games.
