No! Detroit just choked harder than the Bucks tonight. Still though Giannis was trying to give it away with the last second foul in regulation then throwing the ball away with 55 seconds left in O.T. For as good as Giannis is I don’t want him handling the ball in closing moments!

Awesome win!
Still…#FireDoc— Andrew Lamers (@lamers_andrew) November 14, 2024
Despite the win, Bucks fans are still critical of head coach Doc Rivers. Milwaukee got bailed out by Giannis Antetokounmpo. He needed a heroic effort just to beat the Detroit Pistons. Winning is always good, but it will still be a very long season for this basketball team.
Brook Lopez Steps Up
The only other player who helped Giannis Antetokounmpo on Wednesday night was Brook Lopez. He scored 29 points, grabbed eight rebounds, blocked five shots, and recorded three steals. Maybe his trade value went up after this game. They still have a long way to go.
Tauren Prince also added 15 points for the Bucks. They will next play on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets.
