A-. Excellent bench minutes from Robin Lopez as he compounded Joel Embiid’s early misery, and helped the Bucks to really seize the advantage during Brook’s first half foul troubles. RoLo has a history of causing Embiid problems, and that continued with stellar defense inside on this occasion. In addition to his three rebounds and two blocks, Robin also had nine points, including a couple of triples. This was an excellent night for the Bucks’ backup center.. Center. Milwaukee Bucks.

A. Mike Budenholzer has built one of the most formidable interior defenses the NBA has ever seen, and on Thursday that system was rewarded. In many ways, this game will represent the dream template for the Bucks heading into the postseason. Sure, opponents may make a lot of threes, but if the Bucks can hold firm in their own painted area, and get what they want on the other side with an improved, varied offense, there’ll only be one outcome at the final buzzer..
