GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. B+. The Bucks were far from their best on Wednesday night, but Golden State deserves a lot of credit for making that a reality. Many teams have tried to wall Giannis off and slow the Bucks down at source, but very few have ever been able execute that strategy to the level that the Warriors did for large spells in this game. That gave the Warriors a real chance to pull off an upset, but ultimately they lacked the offense to really make a lasting dent in Milwaukee. Given their record and the players they’re relying on at present, this is a performance worth taking a lot of heart from, though.. Western Conference. 9-30

Next. Dragan Bender’s deal guaranteed for rest of 2019-20 season. dark

The Bucks will continue on their road trip with a matchup against the Sacramento Kings next up, with tip-off set for 9pm CT on Friday night.
