The Milwaukee Bucks suffered yet another disappointing loss on Saturday night, but how do the players grade out individually?
The Milwaukee Bucks dropped to .500 yet again, after a very disappointing and disturbing night for the team. The Bucks were beaten 121-108 on a night when the Utah Jazz set a franchise record for the most three-pointers made in a single game with 18.
Alternatively, the Bucks could only manage eight three pointers, but this was not the biggest area of concern for Milwaukee. Yet again, the team was out-coached, on this occasion by Utah’s Quin Snyder.
Snyder and the Jazz have worked out the Bucks’ defensive scheme in such a way that every time the two play each other, it’s a given that the Jazz will be getting multiple open looks. Time and time again, Milwaukee left Utah’s best shooters open and the Jazz took full advantage, finishing the night shooting 56 percent from deep.

This was not a complete disaster of a night, with some very good performances from the playing group. Giannis Antetokounmpo finished the night with a double-double, while Eric Bledsoe, Tony Snell and Malcolm Brogdon all shot the ball very well.
But it was all to no avail as Utah stormed ahead late in the third quarter and never looked back.
Without further ado, let’s grade the players, coaching staff and the Jazz from Saturday night’s performances in Salt Lake City.
