Milwaukee Bucks: Grades from 109-104 win over Sacramento Kings
By Adam McGee
The Milwaukee Bucks picked up their third straight win on Saturday night as the Sacramento Kings visited. How did the players grade individually, though?
Don’t look now, but the Milwaukee Bucks have got some positive momentum going.
Coming into an important week that starts off with matchups against two of the current top-four teams in the Eastern Conference, the Bucks had plenty of reasons for wanting to take care of business on Saturday against the Sacramento Kings.
They managed to do so, but it was nowhere near as comfortable as it could and should have been based on their dominance for most of the game.

Milwaukee came out aggressively and started out on a 14-0 run which gave little indication that a close game with a struggling opponent was set to play out.
Continuing on from what they’ve done in recent games, the Bucks’ three-headed monster of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe all came out firing and the Kings had no answer for them.
When the scoring slowed with some strange lineups on the floor in the fourth quarter, all of a sudden Sacramento found themselves right back in it, though.
In spite of getting as close a point in the final two minutes, Milwaukee held on to their lead and closed out for the win.
The win gave the Bucks their third straight victory, but how did the players perform individually on Saturday night?
