The Milwaukee Bucks came away with an emphatic victory over the Sacramento Kings Saturday night, winning 117-91. We take a look at who and what stood the most for them in the win.
Coming off of their convincing win against the Indiana Pacers, the Milwaukee Bucks were at it again on Saturday night as they rolled over the Sacramento Kings 117-91.
A true wire-to-wire victory, the Bucks took command of the game early on and thanks to their offensive explosion that started midway through the first quarter, and they never let the game truly slip out of their hands from that point on.
With the Kings short handed due to Rudy Gay being sidelined with a rib cartilage strain, the Kings were fighting an uphill battle without a difference maker alongside DeMarcus Cousins to start the game.

When it was all said and done though, Cousins was barely a factor in the game, scoring 15 points and grabbing four rebounds in 27 minutes. The scoring leader for the Kings wound up being guard Garrett Temple, who scored 19 points on 10 shots from the field.
With the game firmly in the Bucks’ grasp by the end of the third quarter, every player available to play for the team ended up getting a run on the court. Considering their matchup against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, that couldn’t have worked out any better for their more prominent players.
But in regards to this game, the Bucks clearly stood out in multiple ways. From their hot three-point shooting as a team (the Bucks shot 14-of-33 from deep) to big individual performances, there was plenty to be happy with in the team’s fourth win of the season.
So without any more delay, let’s dive in to the biggest takeaways in the Bucks’ victory over the Sacramento Kings.
