Milwaukee Bucks: Grades from 116-97 loss to Cleveland Cavaliers

B-. The Bucks could have been in a position to win had players hit their shots. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case. One of the bigger problems was that none of the centers had much of an impact stopping shots at the rim, and Kidd tried them all. <p>For the most part, Kidd staggered Khris and Giannis so one of them was on the floor at all times, except for a minute at the end of the first and garbage time. That’s probably ideal so that the offense can operate through one of them at all times.</p> <p>The small ball lineup of Middleton, Antetokounmpo, Snell, Brogdon, and Dellavedova that he brought out late in the fourth was actually pretty effective. Khris played power forward for all of the fourth quarter. It will be interesting to see if Kidd is willing to try Giannis at the center more often.</p>. Head Coach. Milwaukee Bucks. JASON KIDD
