Faced with a decimated team, with only eight players that are not very referenced available, this match was to be a formality. He ended up being for the Bucks who counted on the 28 points and 11 rebounds of Giannis Antetokounmpo to win largely against the Pelicans (136-111).
Around the Greek, which only had to play 26 minutes, five other players finished with 12 or more points, including one of the men very in the form of the Wisconsin formation, Kevin Porter Jr. (20 points).
First of all very little inspired behind the arc, the locals had not nevertheless made the start of the ideal match, with a meager first quarter to 21 points registered. The gourmet Lester Quinones, supported by Jamal Cain and Keion Brooks Jr. played without complex in front.
To the point that Nola was racing in mind, by little, for a good part of the first period. The Bucks had to sign an 11-0 as half-time approach to give themselves air (62-54). In the 3rd quarter, Giannis Antetokounmpo put a serious accelerator to which Karlo Matkovic and his troop tried to answer. In vain.
The concern for the Pelicans is that Ryan Rollins and Gary Trent Jr, then Kevin Porter Jr. participated in the party to dig a gap that has become much more substantial at the start of the last period (100-85). Gap which has become insurmountable thereafter, because the Bucks will continue with an 8-0, preventing the Pelicans from scoring for almost three minutes. The continuation will look like management of current affairs.
What to remember
– No land for the bucks. Despite this success, Doc Rivers' men are guaranteed to start the first round of the Playoffs outside. The fault of the Pacers who won last night against the Cavs, thus validating their 4th place. Bucks have not yet been guaranteed to finish 5th and face Indiana. They will have to beat their pursuers, the pistons, at least once in their two clashes to end the season.
– Kevin Porter Jr. in full swing. New very convincing outing for the leader/back of the Bucks who, despite his external clumsiness (1/5), still brought a good spark of the bench: 20 points (6/11), 7 passes, 5 rebounds, 5 interceptions and not a single lost ball. It was his 4th match in a follow -up to 20 points or more. During this period, it displays 21 points (52% on shots, 43% by far), 7 rebounds and 6 passes on average. Will he be able to keep this pace during his first career playoff campaign?
