Philadelphia, PA – The Milwaukee Bucks played on national TV for everybody to see and things didn’t end up the way that Bucks fans would have liked. The Bucks gave up 21 three pointers and that did them in today.
Giannis Antetokounmpo was poked in the eye by Jason Richardson and he lost it and get a technical foal for yelling at the ref for holding his whistle. The Bucks got 31 points from Khris Middleton but that was not enough.
The Milwaukee Bucks take down the Philidelphia 76ers 128-122 and clinch the best record in the NBA for home court advantage for the playoffs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Giannis Antetokounmpo was insane tonight finishing with 45 points, 6 assist, 13 rebounds, and 5 blocks. He dominated the entire game and showed why he is the MVP.
George Hill and Sterling Brown were huge in the fourth quarter including 7 points in a row with 3 minutes left from Hill. Brown also had a huge dunk and the put away bucket at the end to seal the deal. I want to see both get heavy minutes in the playoffs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Khris Middleton dropped a quiet 22 and did his thing per usual. DJ Wilson was also very solid off of the bench. If you are wondering why Eric Bledsoe only played 2 minutes it is because he got ejected right away.

On a night when Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 52 points you would think that the Milwaukee Bucks would win.

Former Marquette standout Jimmy Butler added 27 points and that combination was just too much.
