There were no fireworks, there were no late letdowns or any lapses for Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer to deal with when compared to their previous win over the Boston Celtics. The one brief decision he had to weigh was sticking with superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo during his early foul trouble in the first quarter. The trust he has in the reigning MVP was apparent and Antetokounmpo was able to play through that brief hurdle en route to another great performance. Budenholzer surely has to like what he’s seen from Bender as he continues show competency in his role as the Bucks’ backup center when without Robin Lopez in the fold.. Head Coach. Milwaukee Bucks. MIKE BUDENHOLZER. A
