Pachulia shared after the game that he indeed took extra satisfaction in pounding the Bucks, and who could blame him? Milwaukee gave Zaza away for nothing, and in response he outplayed Greg Monroe in every aspect of the game. Yikes.
It wasn’t just Zaza beating up on Moose that cost the Bucks this game though–they played like crap, to put it simply. There were a few moments in the fourth quarter where it looked like a real game, and then Dallas turned up the speed a little bit and won handily.
We’ll get to more specific reasons for that soon, but just know that it was not good. Not at all.
