The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as the Bucks are unable to withstand a strong shooting performance from the Portland Trail Blazers, leading to them logging their second loss of the season Tuesday night.

In today’s edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily, the Bucks start their West coast trip with a loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo talks about his personal adjustments to the team’s new offensive system and much more.

Headlined by a 40-point performance by All-Star guard CJ McCollum and a strong collective shooting performance by the Blazers, the Bucks’ firepower didn’t come close to matching the Blazers’ when it was all said and done. Now, a meeting with the defending champion Golden State Warriors looms next on the schedule for the Bucks on Thursday night.
