The Milwaukee Bucks trekked down to take on the Memphis Grizzlies in this Saturday tussle, and found themselves thoroughly outworked and outshot en route to a 102-127 loss. Jrue Holiday sat out of this one with an injury.
Despite an 0-8 shooting stretch near the conclusion of the first period, the Bucks trailed merely 28-32. The offensive woes carried into the second quarter, with Milwaukee struggling to score with any semblance of competence within the paint while Memphis continued to stroke it from deep. The Bucks were down 46-59 at half. Milwaukee found some scoring as the third quarter wound down, but their defense couldn’t get consistent stops as the Grizzlies staked a 98-79 lead after three.
