A. It wasn’t the performance Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer certainly wanted out of his team for the first three quarters for the day. That brought him to make some decisions and turn to the out of favor Pat Connaughton to give the squad some kind of spark and improve their final product that was lacking for much of the day. With that, and the Bucks’ decision to play small overall, Budenholzer got the response he wanted and the Bucks eventually turned a five-point halftime deficit into a 13-point victory by the final buzzer, which marked their 40th win of the season and Budenholzer’s 100th win as Bucks head coach..
