Reactions: The Good
- The Bucks made the playoffs and forced a Game 6!
- Everybody got to play! That’s right, if you watched this game you had the pleasure of watching Jorge Gutierrez, Miles Plumlee, Johnny O’Bryant and Tyler Ennis play actual (sort of) minutes in a playoff game. That’s fun, right?
- Jerryd Bayless only took six shots in 32 minutes, while recording a team-best five assists. In Carter-Williams’ trip to the locker room due to that Dunleavy cheap shot, he actually played point guard. He also had four rebounds and seven points. I think that makes him the MVP of this game for Milwaukee.
- Zaza Pachulia led the team in scoring with eight points and made all four of his free throws. Those are some solid fundamentals. He also added three rebounds. And an assist. Zaza makes a strong case for Bucks Game 6 MVP as well.
- Miles Plumlee managed to snag six rebounds in just 16 minutes. Unfortunately he was one-for-eight from the field. I’m trying to find some good things, okay?
