He went with a Giannis, Henson, and Plumlee lineup in the second quarter and they nearly blocked “the Q” right out of Cleveland. I was concerned for Plumlee’s minutes when Henson returned, but much to my glee they seem to share the court about as well as any other pair of Bucks. Throwing Giannis into that mix gives them another 7′ wingspan to wreak havoc on shooters.

I like the experimentation we’ve seen with the bench guys, but he held his starters out about a minute and a half too long in the fourth quarter. The bench unit he left in had done a good job to close the third quarter, but early on in the fourth began to see diminishing returns. By the time Kidd yanked his bench guys the Cavaliers were flirting with a ten point lead.
