Milwaukee Bucks: Player grades from 123-111 win over Sacramento Kings

The Milwaukee Bucks maintained their perfect record without Giannis Antetokounmpo thanks to a strong fourth quarter against the Sacramento Kings.

As Giannis Antetokounmpo took a well-deserved night off to celebrate the birth of his son on Monday, the Milwaukee Bucks delivered the goods in their victory over the Sacramento Kings.

It was far from smooth sailing as an increasingly frisky Sacramento squad certainly applied plenty of pressure to the Bucks, even holding a rare lead for an opponent heading into a fourth quarter at Fiserv Forum.

Building on a stat that’s deserving of more attention than it likely gets, the Bucks persevered, though, and secured a win thanks to a strong fourth quarter to move to a perfect 5-0 without Giannis on the season to date.

The Bucks’ duo of supporting stars were certainly pivotal to maintaining that strong record on this occasion, as both Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe finished with 28 points, while Brook Lopez also stepped up with a 20-point outing of his own.

With that in mind, let’s dive deeper into the Bucks’ individual efforts from their Monday night win over the Sacramento Kings.
