The Milwaukee Bucks were able to bounce back in the win column, albeit with an unconvincing performance that helped them edge past the Golden State Warriors Wednesday night.

Making their first visit to the Chase Center, the Milwaukee Bucks had to work hard for a 107-98 victory over the lowly Golden State Warriors Wednesday night.

The tone of the night was quickly set as both teams struggled to hit shots all throughout the first quarter and it was only fitting that the Bucks and the Warriors were knotted up at 19 at the end of one.

Milwaukee attempted to break away and move past their first quarter struggles, though the latter remained for the vast majority of the second period. Even so, the Bucks went into halftime holding a 47-39 edge.

The Bucks’ challenge of trying to shake themselves free of the Warriors only grew once the second half got underway.

Thankfully, the Bucks, led by Khris Middleton, were able to find their groove at times throughout the third quarter and clung to a 81-72 advantage through three.

Golden State’s comeback attempt pushed into the final frame and they stayed within striking distance of the Bucks, who struggled to find consistency to put away the game. But the Warriors failed to make it a one-possession game at multiple points in the period and the Bucks were able to put the stamp on their 33rd victory of the season eventually.

So without further ado, let’s examine what stood out in the Bucks’ win over the Golden State Warriors, starting with the performance of superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.
