B. After a shaky performance against the Rockets, this was back to the Malcolm Brogdon we’ve all come to know. Brogdon was steady, reliable and efficient in almost all aspects of his game. The President made 4-6 from deep, and had only one turnover to negatively counter his five assists en route to a 16-point showing. If Brogdon does find himself back on the bench soon, it shouldn’t be considered a demotion. Instead, it will be a testament to his ability to raise the performance abilities of those around him.. G. Milwaukee Bucks. MALCOLM BROGDON

G/F. Milwaukee Bucks. GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO. B+. This is about as bad as Giannis has played in a long time (with the exception of his brief appearance with illness against the Spurs), and yet his stat-line still looks like something that 99 percent of NBA players could only dream about. Beyond the numbers, Antetokounmpo had a challenging night, though. Aaron Gordon deserves credit for giving him little space to operate, but Giannis really struggled to make shots. The Greek Freak was only 6-17 from the field, and when he tried to defer to get others involved their shots often weren’t dropping either. Still, he was dominant on the glass and perfect from the free throw line. We’ll all happily accept his bad nights offering up 17 points, 14 rebounds and five assists.

A very tough game to grade for Parker. It was his offensive outbursts that kept the Bucks close initially and helped to edge their way back on a couple of occasions during the game, but his four turnovers certainly didn’t help the cause either. For a player who not so long ago faced big questions over whether he’d ever be able to develop a reliable three-point shot, going 3-6 from deep to add to his season 41.6 percent tally from behind the arc is truly impressive. Parker also grabbed six boards and dished out six rebounds, although after 19 first half points it’s hard to feel he couldn’t have done more in the final 24 minutes.. F. Milwaukee Bucks. JABARI PARKER. B+

Milwaukee Bucks. JOHN HENSON. B. Strange to see Henson’s minutes as curtailed as they were, as particularly when matched up against <a rel=. C
