Milwaukee Bucks: Grades from 110-103 win over Washington Wizards

ERIC BLEDSOE. A. Eric Bledsoe has demonstrated his ability to turn things up a notch in high-pressure situations, and he delivered in a big way again on Saturday night. Bledsoe was central to Milwaukee’s game-winning late run, most notably knocking down a clutch three-pointer over <a rel=. Guard. Milwaukee Bucks

B-. <a rel=. Guard. Milwaukee Bucks. MALCOLM BROGDON

B. <a rel=. Forward. Milwaukee Bucks. KHRIS MIDDLETON

Forward. Milwaukee Bucks. GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO. A+. When Giannis Antetokounmpo checked out of the game with five fouls late in the fourth, it seemed as if it may prove costly. To Antetokounmpo’s credit, he returned to the game and played with the threat of the final foul hanging over him, and capped off an excellent performance by securing the win for his team. Giannis spent much of the night hearing cries of “Hell No!” from Wizards defenders when he’d put up a jump shot, but it was Antetokounmpo who had the last laugh as he knocked down a number of jumpers to seal the win. All in all, with 34 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a block, this was a special game, even by Giannis’ high standards.

The Bucks have lost a host of recent games to the Wizards due to being bullied on the boards, with <a rel=. Center. Milwaukee Bucks. JOHN HENSON. B+
