In an wildly entertaining game, the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Portland Trail Blazers in their first of two matchups during the regular season. But how did the players grade individually?
Just one day after a tough loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Milwaukee Bucks welcomed the Portland Trail Blazers to the BMO Harris Bradley Center for the last time during the regular season.
An utterly dominant performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo overshadowed all of the good basketball played by the Blazers, and the Bucks came away with a three-point victory in a game that came down to the final seconds.
Still tinkering with rotations early in this season, there was even a Bucks debut made in this game, and the bench unit seemed to outperform their usual selves too.
