The Trusty Moose

The Bucks’ sixth man was the team’s glimmering beam of light. No one on the team played a very good game, but Greg Monroe managed to make a lot of big plays to keep the team within striking distance in the second and third quarters.

Moose finished with 14 points, four rebounds, and two assists in his 26 minutes of action. The numbers aren’t outstanding, but he made a number of great passes to set the team up for one of their few buckets in the second half.

Aside from his great passing, the big man held his own on the block offensively. All of his points came from his ability to seal his defender in the post, finishing with his short hook shot.

On the flip side, he did struggle to protect the paint on the defensive end. With the Bulls shooting so well, the driving lanes opened up, and left him in a difficult situation.
