The Bucks were without All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo Monday night against the Pacers. Milwaukee cruised to a dominate victory. Jrue Holiday led the way for the Bucks with 28 points and 14 assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bucks went 9 of 10 from 3-point range in the first 9\u00bd minutes and led 48-26 by the end of the first quarter. That 48-point outburst represented the fifth-highest point total the Bucks have ever recorded in a single quarter. Milwaukee had a very good shooting night and they shot 24 of 39 from 3 as a team. That would be an outstanding 56.4% overall. Any NBA team shooting that percentage will not lose a game. Pat Connaughton who started for Giannis shot 5 for 6 from the three point line and produced 20 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen somebody like our best player is not playing that night, we kind of lock in,\u201d Holiday said. \u201cEverybody has to do a little bit more. It\u2019s a testament to the team we have.\u201d Giannis might be held out of Wednesday\u2019s contest against Boston because of his sprained left knew. This is something very minor and it is just precautionary. The Bucks also played without reserve forward P.J. Tucker because of a sprained left ankle. Tucker played 12 minutes and was scoreless Monday in his second game since he joined the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bucks are on a roll and it doesn\u2019t look like anyone can stop the train right now. Milwaukee has found their way and are starting to finally gel as a team. This year has been a year where they needed to find their chemistry because of the roster turnover. It seems like it is peaking at the right time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
