Milwaukee Bucks: Grades from 120-106 Game 2 loss to Boston Celtics

C. After keeping a tight rotation in Game 1, Prunty opened it up to include 12 players with over five minutes in Game 2. He seemed to be grasping at straws, as important players like Bledsoe, Snell, and Jabari underperformed. <p>He could certainly do a better job getting his players in a good position to perform well. The Bucks once again struggled to find three-point shots, only taking 17. With as much pressure as Giannis is applying to the Celtics’ defense, there are plenty of potential openings for threes that just aren’t being found.</p> <p>The best decision Prunty made was limiting Jabari’s minutes, down from 15 to 10 in Game 2, but still he could go even further and only play Jabari when Giannis isn’t on the court, which might end up being as little as five minutes per game.</p> <p>Playing Sterling Brown was an interesting decision, but he was rewarded for it, as Brown played fairly well for him. It was made particularly interesting because it came at the cost of Jason Terry’s minutes, down from 18 to five in Game 2.</p>. Head Coach. Milwaukee Bucks. JOE PRUNTY
