What’s the buzz on Twitter?
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm Doc Rivers was in a good mood postgame and joked about Kyle Kuzma trying to be the hero in his DC return.
“That last play was supposed to go to Brook and Kuz wanted to make the shot. So we’re going to give him the hero ball grace period for one day. But he knew it right away.” – 10:05 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm FINAL: Bucks 104, Wizards 101 – Kuzma 19pts/8reb/5ast – Lopez 18pts/9reb – Antetokounmpo 18pts/6reb/3ast (19min) – Rollins 15pts/4reb/4ast – Porter 12pts/3reb/3ast
The Bucks are now 31-24 on the season. They play next on Sunday in Milwaukee vs. the Heat. – 9:36 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm Heading to the fourth quarter, the Bucks lead, 84-75.
Kyle Kuzma leads the Bucks with 19pts/8reb/5ast. Giannis Antetokounmpo (17p/4r/3a) and Brook Lopez (14p/8r/2a) are the other two Bucks in double digits tonight. – 8:55 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm Tough sequence there. Kuzma tried to force a shot up on the glass and it led to a fastbreak for the Wizards. Missed 3, but an out of control closeout from AJ Green let Bilal Coulibaly grab his own miss.
Bucks still up, 75-69, with 3:33 left in the third though. – 8:47 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm Feel like Kyle Kuzma’s size goes a bit under the radar. When he gets going downhill and puts his shoulder into defenders in transition, he can really bounce off of them and find his way to the rim.
Strong start to the second half. Bucks now lead, 69-62, with 6:44 left in Q3. – 8:39 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm Half: Wizards 56, Bucks 50 – Lopez 12pts/6reb/3ast – Kuzma 9pts/3reb/4ast – Antetokounmpo 9pts/2reb – Green 6pts/2reb/2ast
The Bucks are just 5-of-18 from 3 thus far tonight. After a hot early start, the Wizards have cooled to 9-of-25 from 3. – 8:08 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm If the Bucks are going to play this big lineup, that is what the effort has to look like on the offensive glass.
Kuzma keeps it alive, Lopez corralls it and finishes through contact for an and-one. – 9:26 PM
