Must be the money

Much like the team overall, Bucks forward Khris Middleton’s night ended up being much better than it started out.

At first, the All-Star swingman picked up what was an incredibly porous shooting first half where he supplied two of their four triples over the first two quarters. And for the night, the Bucks went 9-for-41 from that range of the floor and the 22 percent they shot from deep is the second-lowest mark they’ve set in a single game this season.

While his shooting took a backseat in the second half, the 28-year-old was a very smooth operator with the ball in his hands with the offense running through him and he was regularly dishing out dimes to his teammates to help themselves out of their offensive rut. Making plays at an incredible efficiency helped prevent the Bucks from making more mistakes to further worsen their shooting performance.

All in all, Middleton posted 21 points on 16 shots (3-of-8 from three, 6-for-6 from the free throw line), seven rebounds, six assists, one steal and one turnover and was a +6 in exactly 33 minutes of run.

Even with Wednesday night being far from an efficient night, Middleton found ways to be effective that could be a useful tool in the future.
