Milwaukee Bucks are not used to losing basketball games. The fan base has gotten spoiled over the year seeing this team comeback and finding ways to win over and over again. It’s truly the best and a great deal of fun. On Saturday night, Eric Beldsoe and Malcolm Brogdon rested for the night giving Milwaukee a jumbo starting lineup. There were dramatic swings all game long from both teams, but Utah had the final run to come out victorious. Jazz won 115-111. Bucks snap a six-game winning streak and 10-game road winning streak. They’ll look again next year for their victory at Utah since 2002-2003

Player of the Game: Donovan Mitchell – He is only getting it over Giannis because they won the game. If the Utah star came up short, he is the silver star. Mitchell could not miss down the stretch. The second-year star finished with 46 points, six assists and five made threes. Mitchell seemed pretty cold to start the night missing 16 of his first 22 shots, but he heated up in a major way carrying Utah to victory.

Silver Star: Giannis Antetokounmpo – Sure, he’s being bothered by a knee injury, but you couldn’t tell on Saturday night. With Bledsoe and Brogdon both out, Giannis’ usage went through the roof, and there was not a soul on Utah that could stop him. He was truly dominant with 43 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists. Just think if he did not miss eight free throws at the line, the line would have been that much better.

Positive: Jumbo Lineup… Kinda worked? – Here’s the thing with the jumbo lineup. It opened things up for Giannis to go to work. He had the high point total on Saturday night because he was able to do it all versus being constricted by point guards. Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez also had great games. The other two starters – Nikola Mirotic and Ersan Ilyasova did not reap the same benefits.

Negative: Bledsoe or Brogdon win this game – Curious to know why Mike Budenholzer sat both of his guards in favor of one and maybe Giannis. With either player, Milwaukee is likely in the winner’s circle, and we’re talking about a seventh straight win plus tying the franchise record with consecutive road wins. I guess this should be something down the stretch to get used for Milwaukee, even though, it still ruffles your feathers a bit.

Next up: Bucks head to Phoenix to wrap up their road trip. Suns have won two of their last three games, but Milwaukee is out for revenge. Bucks haven’t lost to a team twice this season. The teams that have beat them, the next time, Milwaukee has won by a winning margin that is close to 20 points. Pray for the Suns tonight. Curious to see if Giannis will give it a go or they’ll sit him before having an extended break.
