Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports Giannis’ 21 points in his return get the Bucks back in the W column Giannis returning was what the “Doc” ordered to get the Milwaukee Bucks back in the win column against the Brooklyn Nets tonight, 115-108. Damian Lillard went off for his third 30-point game in a row, hitting that figure on the nose and nailing five three-pointers in the process. Mikal Bridges goes for 24 points to lead the Nets.

Celtics Exposed Still-Glaring Flaw In Tight Finish Win Over Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks might feel reassured by turning a 21-point Boston Celtics lead into a one-possession difference at the final buzzer in Wednesday night’s 122-119 final, but that’d be disingenuous. Sure, the Bucks went up against the Celtics without two-time league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo by their side, meaning Milwaukee was far from at full strength. […]

Photo by Dustin Satloff/ Tip-Off is Scheduled for 7:00 p.m. (Central) After a stop in Boston last night, the Milwaukee Bucks return home for a three-game homestand, starting tonight against the Brooklyn Nets. The Bucks will be without Khris Middleton, with this being the second game of a back-to-back while he manages his left ankle sprain. Giannis is also listed as questionable, as he looks to make his return after missing the last two games with left hamstring tendinopathy. Nets starting center Nic Claxton is listed as questionable with a non-Covid illness. Brooklyn...

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Brooklyn Nets Preview: Coming Back for Some Home Cooking

Photo by Dustin Satloff/ Dame and the Bucks look to get three-game home stand off on the right foot It was an impressive showing from a Giannis-less Milwaukee Bucks last night, as Damian Lillard and Bobby Portis combined for 56 points in a 122-119 defeat to the Boston Celtics. The team won’t have much time to process the loss, as they will have the Brooklyn Nets on tap for the third time this season. This will be the first and only time these two teams will play in Milwaukee, as the Bucks won the previous two on the road in Brooklyn, a tight 129-125 victory on Nov. 6...

Bucks vs. Celtics: Moral Victory Loss

Photo by Adam Glanzman/ No Giannis Antetokounmpo, no victory for the Milwaukee Bucks as they dropped a 119-122 road game against Eastern Conference rivals, the Boston Celtics. Game Summary A slow start for the Bucks offensively was exactly what the team would’ve hoped to avoid without Giannis Antetokounmpo to anchor production and force Boston to bend to his gravity. It was, discouragingly, an uneven beginning in large part due to mediocre interplay between Khris Middleton and Damian Lillard. With Boston’s perimeter defense dialed in on denying passing lanes between...

Payton Pritchard Goes Big After ‘Too Small’ Trash Talk In Celtics Win Vs. Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley drove past 7-foot-2 Luke Kornet in the second quarter and immediately hit the Celtics big man with a “too small” trash talk gesture. Celtics guard Payton Pritchard didn’t care for the gesture and made the Bucks pay by dropping 10 points in the quarter. “He kind of lit a fire […]

Celtics open big lead, hold on to beat Bucks without Giannis, 122-119

Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley made a spin move in the lane, floated a jumper over Boston's Luke Kornet and then headed back on defense in a crouch, holding his hand a few inches above the floor to mock the Celtics center.

Boston Celtics withstand late surge from Milwaukee Bucks, win 122-119

Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports Bobby Portis fueled a Milwaukee comeback, but the Celtics made plays when it counted to secure the win An injury to Giannis Antetokounmpo robbed Wednesday night’s showdown between the two top teams in the Eastern Conference of some of its intrigue on Wednesday night. The Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks met for the third time this season, but the Bucks’ MVP candidate forward missed his second consecutive game and fifth of the season. The Greek Freak’s absence didn’t rob the contest of drama, however, as the Bucks rallied from a...

Doc Rivers Leading Bucks Turnaround To Reduce Gap With Celtics?

BOSTON — Doc Rivers inherited a pressure-filled position when joining the Milwaukee Bucks after Adrian Griffin surrendered head-coaching duties with the team sitting 30-13 as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. Milwaukee entered the campaign in need of a response. The Bucks had squandered a favorable playoff matchup with last season’s No. 8-seeded […]

How the Milwaukee Bucks franchise cornerstone took the final leap from MVP winner to walking, talking title contender It would be the simplest thing in the world for him to get overlooked in the shuffle. Coaching carousel, new superstar point guard, locker room turmoil, injuries, trades, wins, losses (magnified x1,000,000 because of everything else), not to mention the regular rhythm of an NBA season.
