Bench

B. The latest Bucks starting lineup change seemed designed to give Tony Snell a jolt, and although it wasn’t a perfect performance from him, he certainly offered a reaction. Snell scored 10 points, and played stellar defense en route to a team-high plus/minus of +15. Most importantly of all, Snell showed excellent anticipation and effort to scramble across for a block on Bradley Beal that essentially secured the win in the final minute.. Guard. Milwaukee Bucks. TONY SNELL

THON MAKER. C+. Henson’s excellent play meant less minutes for <a rel=. Center. Milwaukee Bucks

B-. The headline for Matthew Dellavedova was his ejection for a flagrant-2 foul on Bradley Beal in the fourth quarter. Although many non-Bucks observers seemed to revel in the call on social media due to Dellavedova’s reputation, the play itself wasn’t all that bad in spite of how it first appeared in full speed. Dellavedova looked to wrap Beal up but ended up high around the chest. If it wasn’t for Beal’s speed and momentum, the contact wouldn’t likely have drawn quite as much attention, and although a flagrant-1 may have been a fair assessment, without Beal’s angry reaction it probably wouldn’t have led to an ejection. Away from the controversy, Dellavedova continued his steady playmaking. Delly failed to score, but he dished out five assists to just a single turnover.. Guard. Milwaukee Bucks. MATTHEW DELLAVEDOVA
