Milwaukee Bucks: Grades from 117-100 win over Utah Jazz

The Milwaukee Bucks win for the second time in the weekend, exacting their revenge on the Utah Jazz in a 117-100 victory.

While the Milwaukee Bucks have been tormented by the Utah Jazz over the past two years, viciously dissecting the Bucks’ defense with corner threes and smart passes, the Jazz couldn’t keep up with the offensive firepower of the Bucks on Saturday night.

For the third straight game, each of the Bucks Big Three (KEG, EKG, KGB, or whatever you would like to call the trio of Khris Middleton, Eric Bledsoe, and Giannis Antetokounmpo) all scored over 20 points.

Giannis was particularly impressive with 37 points, including a dunk over Defensive Player of the Year candidate Rudy Gobert late in the fourth.

As a team the Bucks shot 54 percent from the field and 41 percent from three, but more importantly they did a good job on defense, limiting the Jazz to just 23 three-point attempts, compared to 32 in their first meeting this season.

The Jazz were held to just 42 points at the first half, and their leading scorer from the last 10 games, rookie Donovan Mitchell, was held to just 12 points on 4-of-17 shooting.

All in all, the Bucks enjoyed their revenge game, and won even with starter Tony Snell still sidelined with a left knee injury. Now sitting pretty at 15-10 and 11-4 since Bledsoe joined the team, the Bucks are currently fourth in the Eastern Conference standings.

Lets take a look at how the players, opponents, and coaches performed.
