Budenholzer, on playing Antetokounmpo 27 minutes tonight: “I’m sure he’d like to play more. Just trying to kind of make sure we’re conscientious of him,, keep him healthy and just being a little bit on the safe and conservative side and trying to keep his minutes down.” – 10:58 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks

Antetokounmpo just doesn’t seem to have his normal explosion tonight, but he’s still trying to make it work.

Out of the timeout, the #Bucks (aka Holiday & Middleton) went on a 7-0 run to put them up 11. The #Cavs vets of Kevin Love & Ricky Rubio have them back again at 78-73. – 9:47 PM Kane Pitman @KanePitman
When Wes Matthews signed with the Bucks the big question was whether he can have the impact he did defensively with the 2019-20 team. Only early days, but he’s still got that strength and smarts to body up bigger players and he’s had a couple poke aways tonight which are handy. – 9:46 PM Cleveland Cavaliers @cavs

It’s been sort of fun to watch the Bucks, as a team, figure out that the extra pass to Grayson Allen for 3 is going to get them an assist. – 8:43 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm

After a slow offensive start for the #Cavs, they tied this game at 24 apiece at the end of the first. Kevin Love hit a 3 for the Cavs, and Kris Middleton answers with a layup on the other end.
