Headlined by Khris Middleton‘s career scoring performance, the Milwaukee Bucks collected their eighth straight victory over the Washington Wizards Tuesday night.

The Milwaukee Bucks returned to their friendly stomping grounds at Fiserv Forum Tuesday night and outlasted the Washington Wizards in a 151-131 shootout victory.

Even without superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo for the night, who was sidelined with right shoulder soreness, the Bucks didn’t miss a beat in what was their first meeting against the Wizards this season.

Between Khris Middleton’s 51-point performance, a career high, and Eric Bledsoe‘s 34-point outing, the Bucks’ firepower was still on display in what was a wire-to-wire victory.

That wasn’t without the Wizards attempting to come back during the second half, even managing to whittle their large deficit down to single digits as late as under the four and a half minute mark in the final frame.

But the Bucks, namely Middleton, quickly squashed their late comeback, with his clutch closing ways, leaving the Bucks with their 41st victory of the season.

So without further ado, let’s explore each and every individual performance from the Bucks in their win over the Wizards from Tuesday night.
