Even when the back of the Milwaukee Bucks star player Giannis Antetokounmpo was feeling sore, the whole team picked up to get the win over the Sacramento Kings on Friday night.
This is nothing new when the best team in the league right now had another player to lead their scoring charge and keep them rolling on the road games.
Khris Middleton scored 27 points along with 11 rebounds for the Milwaukee Bucks while Eric Bledsoe scored 24 points s the Bucks defeated the Kings by 127-106.
Bledsoe said, “To have his back when he cannot play well, we need to have his back for one time too. Damn, nearly in all 30 games he had our backs. Just to have his back for this once says a lot about this team.”
Milwaukee Bucks improved to the all-NBA record best of 34-6 as they started the franchise best record this season.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had been dealing with a troubled back for quite some time and was only held to his season low of 13 points with 10 rebounds. He only made 9 shots and picked up 4 fouls in the game’s 1st half.
This was the 11th time and the 7th time in the last 11 games that Giannis Antetokounmpo has not led the scoring charge for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Other players from Bucks’ side like Donte DiVincenzo scored his season high of 18 points while Sterling Brown scored 11 points with 12 rebounds as the Milwaukee Bucks are now 16-4 on the season.
From the Sacramento Kings’ side, the lead was taken by De’Aaron Fox who scored 19 points along with his 9 rebounds while Harrison Barnes, before leaving the court limping, scored 19 points.
Up next, Bucks will play against the Portland Trail Blazers while the Kings will host a game against the Orlando Magic on coming Monday night.
