Khris’ quiet night

While Antetokounmpo was unsurprisingly ever present throughout Sunday night’s game, the same couldn’t be said for Bucks teammate, Khris Middleton.

The two-time All-Star struggled to find his rhythm upon entering the game for the first time at the start of the second quarter.

Eventually, Middleton was able to shrug it off by hitting his lone three of the night at the 4:19 mark in the second quarter and he followed that up by throwing down an alley-oop slam thrown off the backboard by Kyle Lowry.

Despite that mini stretch, that was the extent of Middleton’s contributions on the night, which stood as a great contrast to his very solid All-Star debut last year in Charlotte.

All in all, Middleton posted five points on seven shots (1-for-5 from deep), two assists, one rebound and was a +4 over his shifts on the floor.
