Humbled, but not backing down

While the Bucks may have been humbled on Friday night against the Raptors, Malcolm Brogdon wasn’t going down without showing some fight.

The first half, however, was not Brogdon’s best showing as he was unusually inefficient in his scoring opportunities. That said, he did contribute a solid defensive effort to try and quiet some of the Raptors’ biggest weapons from within their supporting cast.

Brogdon’s biggest contribution on the night came during the fourth quarter where he chipped in most of his offense and stood as the biggest reason for why the game frankly looked a little more respectable in the Bucks’ favor.

In total, the Virginia product posted 19 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the field (was a perfect 3-of-3 from long range), two rebounds, three assists, one turnover and was a -4 on the night.

Sure, it could easily be painted as “stat stuffing” and the Raptors had obviously pulled their starters and some of the biggest contributors as well by that point, but it boosted what had been a mixed showing for Brogdon nonetheless.
