Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways from 110-103 win over Memphis Grizzlies
With a 110-103 victory against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night the Milwaukee Bucks have now won three straight. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights from the victory.
With 6:12 remaining in the fourth quarter the Milwaukee Bucks were down by three. The Memphis Grizzlies, led by a breakout performance by Tyreke Evans, where in position to come into Milwaukee and hand the Bucks their first loss since the Eric Bledsoe trade.
Just then Giannis Antetokounmpo kicked the ball to Tony Snell, who was able to knock down a dagger three-pointer. The shot helped kick-start a 17-7 run to finish the game.
With yet another win, the Bucks improve to 3-0 since the Eric Bledsoe trade, after losing three straight before it. This could all be a coincidence. Three game win/loss streaks occur all the time and the Bucks might have had the same record regardless if Jon Horst decided to pull the trigger or not.

Yet, the team on the court feels different.
Bledsoe has provided the team with an injection of energy and it has shown in the first three games. During this win streak, the Bucks have beaten three Western Conference opponents, two of which who are over .500. The defense has looked particularly impressive, allowing just 90 points per game in the three wins.
Monday felt like a micro-representation off all of this. With perhaps their most impressive win since the season-opener, lets take a look at what stood out.
