Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways From Win Over San Antonio Spurs

Brogdon’s Bringing Savvy Back

Coming off his career-high performance against the Washington Wizards, Malcolm Brogdon was at it again last night as he continued to show great poise coming through in the clutch once again for the Bucks.

The beginning, however, was a different story as Brogdon was one of the many Bucks who struggled out of the gates, with the biggest lowlight coming when Kawhi Leonard picked his pocket emphatically midway through the first quarter.

Eventually, Brogdon started to settle into the game during the second quarter and he finally got on the board at the 7:51 mark after burying a much needed triple.  He even got some payback on Leonard too, baiting him on a near half-court heave to draw a shooting foul late in the first half.

Brogdon’s highlights in the second half wouldn’t came late until the deciding stretch of the game.

As the Bucks were in the thick of mounting their comeback late in the fourth, Brogdon was instrumental in playing off of Beasley as he did his magic.  Down by 2 with just 1:20 left in the game, Brogdon spotted up from the right corner to bury the deciding shot of the game after Beasley was swarmed by multiple Spurs before dishing the ball off.

In total, 17 points, six rebounds and six assists, all done in a little over 25 minutes is just another strong showing to add to Brogdon’s rookie campaign.  And may I remind you he was the 36th overall pick in last year’s draft too.
