The Milwaukee Bucks was wiped out by Utah Jazz in this match, losing 118-131. Bud’s team will have to prepare for a fight against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night.
NBA.com Box Score
Milwaukee gave a load of triples to Utah Jazz in the first half, and even a 25-point performance for two quarters of Giannis still found the Bucks below 65-58 in half. Despite a valiant third quarter from Khris Middleton, Jazz held the serve and poured it into the fourth half with even deeper kicks. Milwaukee scored just two points in the first six minutes of the final period and was unable to return to the game.
After gaining weight with three consecutive wins against a mediocre competition, the Bucks looked embarrassed against a team that had not yet found its rhythm this season. Growth pains will happen year-round with this list of Bucks, but I’m sure Bud will want to see a more promising defensive performance against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night.
Ball slips from Bobby Portis’ hands in what would have been a totally open dunk.
Jazz takes the ball to the other side. Royce O’Neale 3.
It looks like a package. Jazz up, 119-102, with 3:53 remaining.

Stat that stood out
25 points from three points to Utah. Hell, not only did Jazz set a new franchise record for triples, but they hit more than any Bucks opponent throughout the Bud regime. The previous high was 24 in Boston in November 2018. Overall, they were 25 to 53 (47.2%)
