Without the Milwaukee Bucks' top players in the line-up, the Washington Wizards were able to get past the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday with a chance to make things right on Tuesday.
The Bucks were without Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday when they lost to the Wizards on Sunday 118-95. The Wizards took advantage of the lack of size in the middle with Antetokounmpo out and Brook Lopez and Serge Ibaka getting into early foul trouble. Rui Hachimura scored a game-high 26 points, while Kristaps Porzingis added 22 points, and Daniel Gafford chipped in 17 points. All three of those players are 6'8" or taller.
The Bucks had no players crack 20 points, but did have six different players score into the double figures. Bobby Portis led the way with 19 points while Jevon Carter and Grayson Allen scored 14 and 13 points respectively in the loss.
The two teams play again Tuesday at 7 p.m.
