Utah @ Milwaukee


Recommended Posts

We'll see what the Bucks are really made of here...but then again, the Jazz are 17-14 on the road.

 

Too bad this isn't in Utah. I'm still rooting for the Bucks, though.

Either way, this is still considered a "top team". We need wins like this to justify our position in the playoffs. If we can only beat the teams we're supposed to, then what's the point? We could have beaten the Cavs, Lakers, and Hawks earlier this season but came up just a bit short. Hopefully that's not the case tonight.

Great D in the first half giving up only 40 points although the Jazz shot over 47%.

 

Jennings and Bogut are leading the team with Salmons adding a little spice.

 

Up 8 at the half, hopefully we can maintain this lead the rest of the way! :dribble:

This was a great win for the Bucks. Arguably the best of the year. It was nice to see Jennings and Ilyasova hit 4 straight free throws to officially seal the deal after Boozer got thrown out.

 

Bogut recorded yet another double-double on a pretty poor offensive night for him. 12 rebounds, 16 points on 5 of 15 shooting, and 4 blocked shots.

 

Jennings is playing like he did in his first month in the league. 23 points to go along with 6 assists.

 

Salmons played great as well. He was our leading scorer with 24 points and he was also solid defensively as he gathered in 2 steals.

 

Last nine games Utah scored 112 points per game and shot 49.5% on average. Tonight they scored 87 points and shot 41.7%.

 

Much of this can be credited to Jennings and Salmons. Both of them played great defense all night. I really can't believe that Jennings outplayed Deron Williams but he sure did. Jennings had more than double Williams' points as he forced him to shoot a discouraging 3 for 12 from the field. He also forced him into 3 turnovers.

 

It was a great win for the Bucks. The start of the fourth quarter was rough and Utah took the lead after being down 12, but we were able to regain control and close out the win. With this I think the Bucks have proven that they are a legit team that is capable of beating some of the top teams on any given night. The last three wins are all solid: Cavs, Celtics, and now the Jazz.
