Friday’s win really and truly belongs to and was earned by the players. While that may essentially be true for every win the Bucks pick up, much of what Joe Prunty did on Friday night were the kind of simple things that allowed his team to thrive. <p>One such area in particular where Prunty deserves credit is in recognizing how well Jason Terry was playing and trusting in the veteran for minutes that were significant in the context of the game (and potentially the season from a psychological point of view), but also in a sense of workload for a player who rarely has to deal with that kind of extended run any more.</p> <p>The Raptors have had all sorts of joy against the Bucks in recent years, but at the very least the Joe Prunty era of that rivalry has started 1-0 in the Bucks’ favor. Perhaps that can be a sign of things to come.</p>. Interim Head Coach. Milwaukee Bucks. JOE PRUNTY. A
