Moose Returns
When Malcolm Brogdon returned to the bench, the hope was he’d regain his chemistry with Greg Monroe and that would get the big man out of his rut. They didn’t seem to have it against the Miami Heat on Saturday, but game two brought them closer to their past play. The rookie point guard fed him the ball like old times.
Moose went off for his first double-double since the Bucks last win on January 13. He scored 17 points on 7-13 shooting, adding 10 rebounds, and three steals.
With Brogdon and Teletovic struggling from the field, it was very important to get production out of Moose. He spent the night trading blow for blow with Nene, who finished with a similar stat line.
The big man continues to make a difference on the defensive end this season. He played the passing lanes beautifully on all three of his steals tonight. Opposing teams are just not realizing that they can’t slip a pass through his area with ease anymore.
