Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways From Win Over Atlanta Hawks
By Ti Windisch
Big Bench Help
Here’s a funny statistic–even though Giannis was destroying Atlanta last night, the Bucks got outscored by four points with him on the floor. It seems impossible then that Milwaukee won, right?
Not so much, because of the Bucks bench contributing in a big way. Matthew Dellavedova, Greg Monroe and Jason Terry all had plus/minuses of plus 12 or better against Atlanta, with Delly leading the way with a +16.
It was Moose who seemed like the best bench player against the Hawks, though. Monroe put up 14 points, 10 rebounds and three assists in his 26 minutes played. He also made the clutch winning buckets that sealed the victory.
With every starter getting outscored in their time on the floor against Atlanta, great play from the Bucks bench was crucial in getting the win on Friday.
