“Milwaukee can win another NBA title” – ESPN on Giannis was UNSTOPPABLE in Bucks beat Nets 144-122

With you in our studios here in Milwaukee an impressive win for the Milwaukee Bucks the Brooklyn Nets depleted roster here coming into this game but uh the guys off the bench uh really giving Milwaukee starters all they could handle here in this one before the buck started pulling away

Early in the fourth quarter they score 44 points in the final quarter to finally put away the Brooklyn Nets and get back on the winning track after having their seven game win streak snapped on Christmas day against the Knicks so two and one trip out to the

Big Apple before they head to Cleveland coming up on Friday now Chris midleton uh he has been emerging in the month of December putting up some uh monster numbers tonight uh for Chris Middleton 27 points and 10 assists as well season highs for him let’s go out to Brooklyn

Now Melanie Rick standing by with Chris Middleton standing here with Chris Middleton Chris congratulations I don’t know if you know this you hit 12,000 career points and yeah you did and you scored a new season High 27 how are you feeling knowing this and how are you

Feeling in general right now about your game 12,000 is uh it’s big still got a long way to get up to um to Dame but I’m proud of myself for that um but we’re feeling great as the late my legs is coming back um we’re playing better team

Basketball just got to figure out on the defensive end so I think we’re still tring in the right direction we’ll talk about team basketball a season High 41 assists for your team tonight what does that say about your ball movement and your communication in the direction you’re trending toward uh that when we

Sharp we execute our stuff um we going to get great looks and we got guys that can knock down shots um we play unselfish make plays for one another we’ll be good congrats Chris thank you thank You all right that’s Chris Middleton another impressive night for him again 27 points and 10 assists for Milwaukee was not easy against these Brooklyn Nets so the bucks needed just about everything Chris Middleton could give them and a real solid game from opening quarter on through the fourth quarter

For the buck starter who definitely has his legs back underneath him and has an impressive month of December you saw his last three games point total near 24 points a game uh kind of the Chris of old if you will let’s bring in Steve Novak down and just got done calling

This one with Lisa Bingington and let’s talk more uh Steve about what Chris Middleton uh was able to do here tonight we’ve talked the last couple of games about getting him into the mix more and more with Dame and Giannis and suddenly now looks like we have a true big three

Uh returning for Milwaukee yeah and it’s just beautiful to see at this point in the season because you even heard Chris in that postgame interview say I’m getting my legs back I’m proud of myself I’m doing the things that I wanted to be able to

Do and I think really this road trip has been him finally arriving driving at that point because you saw those first two games of this road trip in New York he played 33 minutes in both of those games had a season High 24 points before tonight when he had 27 on Christmas day

But to see him back in Rhythm like you just said Craig it creates the big three which is so important to make this team go you’ve got your Brook Lopez your Bobby cis’s guys coming in off the bench and contributing the Beasley that are doing really important things for this

Group but when you’ve got Chris Middleton at full strength able to shoot the ball from the perimeter be a playmaker and also the chemistry and connection that we’re so used to watching with Giannis it was on full display tonight just the number of assists that he had with 10 assists as

Well as the fact that so many of them were lobs to Giannis there’s just a different connection out there when you play together for over a decade like Chris and Giannis have there’s a special connection and obviously to see Chris full strength it really has mattered for this

Group yeah indeed and uh Chris Middleton 27 points Giannis 32 kind of kind of like the old days with those two uh going to work uh speaking of going to work our habish habish and Routier numbers that work here in this one we’ve talked about the assist total for

Milwaukee Steve at 41 lot of oops but the other thing is this team H A lot of Threes 23 threes in this game so yeah had your inside and outside game working pretty nicely you know it really was and it was a lot of insight on on plays like that

Dame getting in the paint Giannis being a willing passer and a facilitator getting other guys going and I think a lot of times there are possessions where Chris could shoot it Bobby could shoot it jannis certainly could take over butt when you got your eyes up and you’re

Making plays like that before you get the rebound you know where you want to tap the ball to Bobby and just beautiful timing on some of those you just can’t coach or teach that for a Chris Middleton to be able to come off a pick and roll and immediately throw the ball

To the opposite side for a Giannis dunker just to read the transition break and to find Giannis like Dame did to get a reverse J some of that is just chemistry which we’ve really seen build with this group especially between Dam and Yannis about mid November you really

Saw it start to really take shape you saw some of the struggles early trying to really feel each other out and find how they could be successful together but I felt like tonight even though Brooklyn was a depleted team with a lot of guys either hurt or playing limited

Minutes Milwaukee was able to put on display I think how good they are offensively scoring over 140 points yeah cam Thomas and Mel uh Bridges started this game but did not play after the first quarter well kind of a mystery as to why they didn’t they

Did not appear injured nor were they on an injury report so uh interesting night as it turns out for the Brooklyn Nets here in this one those assist by the way 13 of those 41 in the fourth quarter for Milwaukee and it took that fourth quarter for them to finally put away the

Pesky Nets here in this game let’s talk threes right now Steve one of your favorites subjects as we know 23 made threes in this one uh Beasley with five Payne with five uh good to see some of these other guys getting into the mix on on hitting the long Bal right

Now yeah really it matters being able to stretch the floor and to shoot threes it absolutely matters so to see like you said to have Beasley knock down five three-pointers campaign knock down five got Chris Middleton and Dame both knocking down three it’s a weapon that

You have to have in this game so to see it come to life in a game like this you would expect it it was a Brooklyn team that didn’t have the guys to be a to match up they were Taking Chances especially late in the game to try to

Make a push get some steals they have to double Yannis and shots like that where Dave is shooting from the logo you just got to love the fact that Milwaukee can be a team that makes 15 20 maybe 23 we’ll see next game how many they make

If they can break that 23 record again for this bucks franchise this season but it’s a beautiful thing when it’s going down I think think it comes from Giannis not only being a threat in the paint but also understanding he can be a facilitator and a willing passer like he

Is so often and so he can really kind of flip that switch on and off depending on who the Bucks are playing against or really what he’s feeling like because they’re both such incredible weapons all right Steve 144 122 the final good stuff here tonight uh we’ll

Talk to you next game against Cleveland okay we’ll see you then all right that’s Steve Noak called tonight’s game with Lisa bton joining us on bucks live post game as well a dunon for Giannis some great highlights on the way life is defined by moments in those moments student athletes at the
