Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways From Loss To Boston Celtics
The Beas Knees
For the first time in quite a while, we had ourselves a ‘Super Cool Beas’ performance last night.
Getting the nod over Mirza Teletovic, Beasley was one of the first players off the bench for the Bucks, along with Monroe. As the Celtics came out firing to start the game, Beasley did his best to help keep the Bucks up in the first quarter, scoring 11 points in his first four minutes of play.
While Beasley’s scoring never reached those heights for the rest of the night, he continued to be a vital part in the team’s comeback in the second half, adding in scores at key times. Finishing 7-of-10 from the field (1-of-1 from deep), Beasley scored 17 points and hauled in eight rebounds in his 23 minutes.
Considering his recent stretch of play (that is when he saw the floor), it certainly was a welcoming sight seeing Beasley make a big impact both individually and on the team as well.
Finding the balance of when to keep riding with Beasley is never easy, but last night showed the best of what can happen when you look to him to help light a spark.
