Bucks fans are accustomed to modest numbers from Matthews in his complementary role, and as a result games like this one aren’t necessarily surprising. Similarly, just because Matthews’ numbers aren’t gaudy, it doesn’t mean he’s not playing well. This was a prime example of that as Matthews was very steady in his 20 minutes of run, coming up with six points on 2-of-4 shooting, with all of his attempts coming from behind the arc. For good measure, Matthews also added in three rebounds and three assists.. Guard. Milwaukee Bucks. WESLEY MATTHEWS. B-

A. Khris Middleton was a little slow to get going in this one, but when he did there truly was no stopping him. Middleton caught fire in the second half, helping the Bucks to really put the game away in the third quarter, and ensuring he and his All-Star teammate would get plenty of rest in the fourth quarter. A final tally of 25 points on 10-of-15 shooting is immensely impressive, but Middleton also added in nine rebounds and a couple of assists.
