Jabari Parker Impacts

The Bucks win games when Jabari and Giannis both play well within the same game. Jabari did his part in returning to the winning formula.

The third year star was very efficient, scoring 18 points, shooting 7-10 from the field, 0-1 from three, and 4-6 from the line. He picked his moments to attack well, recording two monster highlight dunks, while also rotating the ball well.

The Duke product came up just shy of back-to-back double doubles, recording nine rebounds. He’s been rebounding quite well lately, recording at least seven in the past five games.

Jabari seemed to be in the zone tonight. After both of his big dunks, he ran down the floor mean-mugging with confidence. The Suns aren’t the best team by any means, but it’s great to watch an opposing team have no answer for either of the Bucks stars.
