Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways From Loss To Washington Wizards

Snell Bells Ring

Turning our attention to the biggest surprise of the night, it’s time to take a look at the performance of one Tony Snell (I’m sorry to say that his middle name is undetermined on the interwebs at this point).

With Mirza Teletovic being in concussion protocol, it was clear the Bucks would need someone to step up in terms of three-point shooting. That was a task Snell would ultimately take upon himself as he unloaded for a career-high six three-point makes.

Snell wouldn’t take long to get going, hitting his first three in the opening minute of the game.  Setting the tone early, Snell continued to make it rain from deep in the first half, finishing with five makes in six attempts.

However, we didn’t end up seeing a repeat performance from Snell in the second half, adding only one more make in five attempts from deep. Without his outside shooting, Snell’s effectiveness would take a big tumble when it was all said and done (Snell finished with -18 in his 29 minutes).

In the end, Snell’s six three-pointers would comprise of the team’s total for the night from downtown and his 20 points now stands as his highest point total in a Bucks uniform.
