Milwaukee Bucks: Player grades from 122-101 win over Portland Trail Blazers
By Adam McGee
The Milwaukee Bucks wrapped up their road trip with three outstanding individual performances, and a big win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
With the All-Star break rapidly approaching, the Milwaukee Bucks offered a second reminder in as many nights that this team on pace for 70 wins is about more than one player.
Thankfully, Giannis Antetokounmpo did return to his usual level of brilliance on Saturday after a rare dip in Sacramento, but Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe picked up right where they left off with two phenomenal efforts.

With Antetokounmpo leading the way with 32 points, Middleton followed his lead with 30, and Bledsoe barely lagged behind with 29 points of his own.
The Bucks may have only had one other player crack double digits on the night, but that becomes something of a moot point when your three best players combine for over 90 points.
The Portland Trail Blazers may not be playing at the level they have in recent seasons, but this remained an immensely impressive result as the Bucks officially hit the halfway mark on the year.
With that in mind, let’s examine Milwaukee’s individual efforts from their win over the Trail Blazers.
