Creating with ease

The Bucks have been a good passing team all season long but Wednesday’s 36 assists marked their best display of the season so far in that category.

What makes that all the more impressive is the fact that the Bucks’ passing numbers didn’t come padded by a gaudy playmaking display from just one individual. This was a team effort.

Four Bucks managed five assists or more, with Giannis and Malcolm Brogdon notching eight dimes, with seven for Parker and six for Greg Monroe. Even beyond that, someone like Michael Beasley who is famed for shooting rather than passing chipped in with three assists.

All the more impressive, the Bucks only turned the ball over seven times. If the Bucks can keep the ball moving and eliminate careless mistakes, there’ll be plenty more wins like this.

We’ll have to wait until Friday night to see the Bucks in action again, as they’ll take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.
