The Milwaukee Bucks had been begging for a good game from the bench unit. Monday night versus the Trail Blazers, they finally got it, led by 22 points from Bobby Portis and 16 from Cole Anthony. Alas, their performances went by the wayside as the starters went ghost mode. The way things are going right now, this team cannot catch a break.
