With the holiday season rapidly approaching, wish lists are being written and shoppers are on the hunt for the “perfect gift.” Going into Wednesday’s matchup between Milwaukee and Portland, the only thing that I had on my wish list was a Bucks win, with maybe a Giannis 5x5 or a Jabari 40-point game or a trio of Thon step-backs in garbage time.
With a 115-107 victory over the Trailblazers and a 15/12/11 triple-double from Giannis Antetokounmpo, I feel comfortable that we got what we wanted.
The opening quarter was sloppy for the Bucks, and the Blazers started out red-hot (4 straight makes to start the game), opening up a 10-4 lead.
