It looked like it was going to be a laugher in the early going with the Bucks jumping out to a 21-7 lead and eventually ending the quarter with a 13-point advantage after maxing out at a 16-point lead. The Bulls would chip away at the lead the rest of the way, even take small leads late in the third quarter and midway through the fourth quarter. The Bucks proved their championship pedigree with an 8-0 run late in the fourth quarter that put enough distance between them and the Bulls that their Central Division rivals could not snag their first win against Milwaukee in multiple years.

 

Giannis Antetkounmpo led the Bucks with 27 points and 16 rebounds, but it was Brook Lopez who was a major factor in this game as he took advantage of a smaller Bulls lineup. He scored 18 points while Jrue Holiday added 15 points. Nikola Vucevic led the Bulls with 24 points while DeMar DeRozan and Zach Lavine each scored 18 points in the loss as the team shot just 32 percent from the field, including 7-of-37 from behind the arc. 

 

Game two is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at Fiserv Forum.

Brewers earn split against Cardinals

The Milwaukee Brewers' bats came alive in their series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals to win 6-5.

 

The Brewers set the tone early when Aaron Ashby got out of a bases-loaded jam in the first inning with two strikeouts before they plated three runs in the bottom half of the inning thanks to RBI from Andrew McCutchen, Rowdy Tellez, and Keston Hiura. After Albert Pujols tied the game up in the third inning on a three-run homer, the Brewers would retake the lead an inning later on a bases-loaded walk drawn by Willy Adames. Tyrone Taylor delivered the big blow for the Brewers in the seventh inning with a two-run double to make the lead 6-3. The Cardinals would peck away at the lead in the eighth inning with two runs, but Josh Hader shut the door in the ninth to secure his fourth save of the season, securing the win for Jake Cousins.

 

The Brewers will stay at home Monday to welcome the Pittsburgh Pirates to American Family Field for a 6:40 p.m. start.. 

Gamblers blown out for second straight night

Cam Smith is getting a rude introduction to the USHL as he and the Green Bay Gamblers dropped their second straight game to the Dubuque Fighting Saints 7-2.

 

Gregory Spitznagel tied the game at one for the Gamblers with just over 90 seconds remaining in the first period. That was the end of the offense until the third period while the Fighting Saints filled the gap with six unanswered goals. Kent Anderson would stop the bleeding with a goal at the 11-minute mark in the third period. Connor Kurth scored four points including two goals to lead the Fighting Saints.

 

The Gamblers will conclude their season next weekend with a home-and-home against the Madison Capitols. NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com and 104.1 WRLU will carry the Saturday game at 7 p.m.

Blizzard win first game of the season

It took overtime to do it, but the Green Bay Blizzard won its first game Saturday night, beating the Massachusetts Pirates 38-31.

 

It took a big comeback to do it as the Blizzard were down 23-10 entering the fourth quarter. Jack Sheehan ran for two scores and threw another in the fourth quarter to force the extra stanza. Sheehan ended up rushing in from one yard out to score the eventual game-winner. The Blizzard defense held on for the win by turning away two straight passing plays. Sheehan scored five touchdowns on the day including three on the ground.

 

The Blizzard will look to make it two in a row next Sunday when they host the Vegas Night Hawks at 3:05 p.m.

Houser's sharp, but Cardinals take second straight

Adrian Houser had another great outing on the mound but it was not enough as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1.

 

Paul DeJong's RBI double in the fourth inning was all Houser let up in over five innings of work. He also struck out four in the process. Corey Dickerson added an insurance run for the Cardinals in the top of the 8th inning. It proved to be important run as Victor Caratini hit a solo shot in the bottom half. The Cardinals were able to secure the win for starting pitcher Steven Matz.

 

The Brewers will try for a series split Sunday afternoon at American Family FIeld at 1:10 p.m. 

Fighting Saints cruise past Gamblers on 104.1 WRLU

The Dubuque Fighting Saints scored eight goals in the first two periods en route to a 9-4 win over the Green Bay Gamblers Friday night at the Resch Center.

 

Brody Lamb and Peter Kramer tallied goals in the first period for the Gamblers, but they were matched by Tristan Lemyre, who along with Max Burkholder gave the visitors a 3-2 lead at the intermission. 

 

Former Gambler Jackson Hallum kicked off the five-goal second period for the Fighting Saints to all put the game away early. Luke Weilandt provided the lone highlight of the period with a goal at 9:27.

 

Peter Kramer scored a goal in the final 15 seconds of the game, but that only got the Gamblers to within five goals at the end. With no Aaron Randazzo in the lineup, Cam Smith took his second loss of the season, making 36 saves on 45 shots. 

 

The Gamblers head west to face Dubuque Saturday night at 7:05 p.m.

High school games canceled for Saturday

Two games with local flavor originally scheduled for Saturday have been called off.

 

Kewaunee's softball team had their Saturday matchup against Green Bay West get moved up to Thursday, only to get postponed due to field conditions. No make up date has been decided.

 

Sevastopol baseball's game against Shiocton has been canceled.

Gamblers host Dubuque on 104.1 WRLU

The Green Bay Gamblers will welcome a familiar face back to the Resch Center when the Dubuque Fighting Saints come to town Friday night.

 

The Gamblers are still looking for their first win since March 26th after losing all three of their matchups last weekend. One reason for their late-season struggles is trading away one of their strongest offensive threats in Jackson Hallum. The Gamblers traded the NHL draft pick to the Fighting Saints for forward Peter Kramer and future considerations in late February. With Hallum in the lineup, the Fighting Saints have won 11 of their 14 games since the trade occurred. That includes victories against Muskegon, Youngstown, and Cedar Rapids over the last week.

 

Tobin Meyer will have the call on 104.1 WRLU and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 7 p.m. The Gamblers will play at Dubuque on Saturday before another home-and-home concludes their season next weekend.

 

 

Soccer round-up: Luxemburg-Casco continues winning streak

A rough weekend at Green Bay Notre Dame is a distant memory for the Luxemburg-Casco girls' soccer team as they beat Clintonville 4-0. 

 

Heather Iverson scored twice while Isabella Otradovec and Haley Paye each added a score of their own in the victory. It was the team's second win in a row after dropping their first two games to Lakeland and Green Bay Southwest.

 

In other soccer action, Sevastopo/Gibraltar lost their road matchup to Kohler 3-1 while Kewaunee and Sturgeon Bay saw their Thursday's matchups canceled. 

Sevastopol softball slugs past Goodman/Pembine

An 11-run third inning ended the day early for the Sevastopol softball team 17-0 after just three innings of play against Goodman-Pembine.

 

The Pioneers scored six runs before the big rally thanks to RBI from Jolene Luedtke and Samantha Differt in the first inning and Naomi Rikkola, Johanna Andreae, and Kristin Daubner in the second inning. Tegan Ellefson delivered the big blow in the decisive third inning with a three-run homer while Libby Ash, Kayla Ranly, Rikkola, Andreae, Luedtke, and Daubner also forced in runs from the plate. Ash sparkled on the mound, limiting Goodman-Pembine to just one hit across three innings while striking out five. 

 

The baseball team did not fare as well against Goodman-Pembine as they fell 8-3. It was tied 3-3 after four innings of play with Nick Peterson and Frankie Ash knocking in the runs in the third inning and a wild pitch occurring while Reece Lauder was at the plate. Goodman-Pembine would score the next five runs, aided in part by four errors by the Pioneers.  Ash was the hard-luck pitcher for the Pioneers, giving up eight runs on six hits, but only two of those runs were earned across 5 1/3 innings of work. He also had four strikeouts in the game. 

Packers sign wide receiver Sammy Watkins

The Green Bay Packers took the first step on Thursday in replacing all-pro Davante Adams by signing wide-out Sammy Watkins.  The eight-year veteran receiver played under Coach Matt LeFleur five years ago in Los Angeles when LeFleur was an offensive coordinator for the Rams.  According to ESPN, Watkins signed a one-year deal with Packers worth $4 million.  Watkins, who played for the Baltimore Ravens last season, has 348 career catches for 5,059 yards and 34 touchdowns.  The Packers are in need of receivers in the draft as well, since only Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb are the only experienced receivers returning to the Packers this year.     

Golf? Packerland tries on Thursday

The only high school sport it seems struggling to get going this year locally is boys' golf.

 

Luxemburg-Casco saw their meet at Brown County Golf Course against Ashwaubenon, Bay Port, De Pere, Denmark, Green Bay East, Green Bay Preble, Green Bay Southwest, Green Bay West, Notre Dame De La Baie Academy, Pulaski, Seymour, West De Pere, and Wrightstown get cancelled on Wednesday, a usual off day for most high school sports. It has been moved to May 20th.

 

Sturgeon Bay will try to host Gibraltar, Green Bay/New Lutheran/Providence Academy, Peshtigo, Sevastopol, and Southern Door at 4 p.m. Thursday at Cherry Hills Golf Course in Sturgeon Bay. Course conditions have not allowed any of the teams get much if any competitive swings in this year. 

Baseball/softball preview: Wishful thinking for Thursday

While the Milwaukee Brewers will certainly get their home opener against the St. Louis Cardinals in thanks to the roof of American Family Field, it may take a little luck to get local high school games in on Thursday.

 

The National Weather Service is predicting thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon and more rain overnight. If the area is spared, there are several games on the schedule. Pending field conditions, Luxemburg-Casco baseball heads to Appleton to face Freedom (4 p.m.), the Spartans' softball team travels to Clintonville (4:30 p.m.), Sevastopol baseball and softball hosts Pembine (5 p.m.), Sturgeon Bay baseball welcomes Oconto (5 p.m.). The Clippers softball team has already pushed their matchup against the Blue Devils to May 2nd. Gibraltar's varsity reserve is set to visit Stockbridge for a 5 p.m. first pitch. 

 

 

Former Phoenix McGee chooses Wisconsin

Former Phoenix point guard Kamari McGee will not have to travel far when he transfers from Green Bay this fall.

 

McGee announced earlier this week that he will play at Wisconsin this fall with three years of eligibility remaining. The Racine native was named to the All-Horizon League Freshman team after starting 21 games for the Phoenix this past season. He played a big role after Lucas Steiber went down with an injury, averaging 11.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 29 minutes per game.

 

The Phoenix has not done much to replace the eight players that left via the transfer portal outside of its recruiting class from the high school level. Last week Zane Short, brother of Denmark standout and Phoenix recruit Donovan Short, announced he would be joining the Phoenix after a couple of seasons at the junior college level. The Phoenix has lost 16 players via the portal the last two season, though 13 of those were originally recruited by Linc Darner. The former Phoenix coach who led the team to a 2016 appearance in the NCAA Tournament, just completed his first year as an assistant coach at Ball State

Josh Hader came on for the save in the ninth to preserve the win.

Late field goal dooms Blizzard again

A blocked field goal return for a touchdown at the end of the half loomed large at the end of the night as the Green Bay Blizzard fell late to the Frisco Fighters 38-36.

 

After a scoreless first quarter, the two teams traded offensive scores with Shaquan Curenton's 21-yard touchdown grab smushed between two Fighters scores.

Kewaunee track heads to Wausau West

Kewaunee's track team will get their first outdoor meet of the season in Friday afternoon when Wausau West hosts a handful of teams weather permitting.

 

Rhinelander, Wausau East, Pulaski, Shawano Community, Two Rivers, Newman Catholic, and Menominee Indian are all scheduled to compete in the meet. Kewaunee's first outdoor meet of the year was postponed because of weather when it was supposed to face half of the other Packerland schools in Brussels.

 

The first events are scheduled for 4 p.m.

Clippers soccer scoots past Blazers

A seeing-eye pass through the box proved to be all Sturgeon Bay needed to get past NEW Lutheran Thursday afternoon at drizzly Capital Credit Union Park in Ashwaubenon.

 

The match was over 50 minutes old when Josie Rangel was the lone player to wrangle a cross that ricocheted off several Blazers defenders and found her foot for the lone score.

 

 

The turf field proved to be the difference as Kewaunee's match against Sevastopol/Gibraltar was postponed. 

Wet conditions mar Friday's activities

Don't expect to catch too much of anything on Friday due to wet conditions this week leading up to Friday's anticipated snow.

Still on the schedule as of 6:30 a.m. is Southern Door hosting Algoma in softball and baseball at 5:00 p.m.

Gamblers visit Chicago for pair

Before hosting Muskegon on Sunday, the Green Bay Gamblers will hit the road this weekend for a Friday/Saturday set against the Chicago Steel.

 

The Gamblers were able to pick up one of the possible four points against Team USA U-18 last week. The team made news off the ice this week as the organization and Pat Mikesch announced they would be going their separate ways at the end of this season. The Gamblers are looking for their first win in regulation since March 5th when they beat the Steel on the backend of home and home at Fox Valley Ice Arena. The Steel took 3 of a possible four points in their home and home set against Madison last weekend. Jackson Blake is the USHL's fourth-leading scorer with 72 points (23G, 49A). Teammate Adam Fantilli is right behind with 67 points (35G, 32A).

 

Both games will take place at 7:05 p.m. in Geneva, Ill. The Gamblers will host Muskegon at 3:05 p.m. on Sunday. That game will air on 104.1 WRLU and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com.

Ian hit Happ-y in Brewers' loss

Ian Happ had three hits including a game-winning two-run double late to steal game one of a four-game season-opening set against the Milwaukee Brewers 5-4.

 

The Brewers struck first as Lorenzo Cain had the first of his two productive outs on the day in the fourth inning. Corbin Burnes was mowing down Cubs until the fifth inning when Patrick Wisdom registered his own RBI out before Nico Hoerner hit a two-run homer to put the Cubs ahead. The Brewers would tie the game up in the seventh inning when Wily Adames hit an RBI double and Christian Yelich drove him in on a sacrifice fly. Happ's third hit of the day proved to be a backbreaker as his RBI double gave the Cubs a lead they would not lose. Cain's sacrifice fly made it one-run closer, but the Brewers could not retake the lead to lose their first game of the season. Burnes had four strikeouts in his five innings of work as the loss was credited to Aaron Ashby.

 

As they will the rest of the weekend, the two teams meet again at Wrigley Field Friday afternoon for a 1:20 start. 

Area soccer teams hit the pitch Thursday

A busy day is on tap for the area's soccer teams on Thursday.

Spartans baseball open on the road against Vikings

The Luxemburg-Casco baseball team travels to Denmark for their first game of the season.

 

The Spartans were supposed to play the Vikings on Monday, but that game was postponed. The Vikings have been able to squeeze in three games already this year, winning twice. One of those games was a 6-1 victory over Kewaunee in the season opener.

 

Pending field conditions, the first pitch is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.

Brewers open season at Wrigley Field Thursday

The Milwaukee Brewers will hope the Friendly Confines are all that and then some Thursday afternoon when they open the 2022 campaign against the Chicago Cubs.

 

Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes will take the mound for the Brewers as they look to win their second straight division crown. Burnes dominated the Cubs in his starts last year as the Brewers won 15 of their 19 matchups against the North Siders last year. They will be countered Kyle Hendricks who flummoxed the Brewers on Opening Day in 2020.

 

The Brewers did sign a former Cub to the roster on Wednesday, adding catcher Victor Caratini to the roster.

Mikesch, Gamblers to part ways at season's end

The end of the Pat Mikesch era for the Green Bay Gamblers is near.

 

The organization announced on Thursday that the two sides decided to part ways at the season's end.

 

“I would like to thank Pat for his hard work and commitment to the Gamblers these past 11 years,” said Gamblers President Jeff Mitchell. “Pat has a great reputation in the hockey community as a coach and developer of talent. Here he went above and beyond to advance the Gamblers mission to give back and be active in the community. We wish Pat all the best.”

 

“My wife, Aimee, the kids, and I have loved our 11 years in Green Bay,” said Mikesch. I’m very appreciative of the support given to me by the Gamblers, PMI Entertainment Group, and the entire Green Bay community. My family and I look forward to what comes next.”

 

He joined the Gamblers as an assistant 11 years ago and was elevated to head coach and general manager in 2014. A national search for his replacement is underway.

 

The Gamblers will play two games in Illinois against the Chicago Steel on Friday and Saturday before returning home to play the Muskegon Lumberjacks on Sunday. You can catch that game and all home games on 104.1 WRLU and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com

The Milwaukee Bucks led virtually from start to finish as they crushed the Chicago Bulls 127-106 at the United Center Tuesday night.

The Gibraltar Vikings were able to get their first game of the season in on Tuesday afternoon, shutting out the Sheboygan Area Lutheran Crusaders 8-0 on the road.

Brewers end preseason with 5-4 win over Royals

The Milwaukee Brewers topped the Kansas City Royals 5-4 on Wednesday in the final Cactus League game on Tuesday afternoon in Arizona. 

 

The Brewers (7-9) jumped to a 2-0 lead on a two-run home run by Brent Diaz in the bottom of the second inning.  Keston Hiura added two more runs with a two-RBI single in the third inning to give the Brewers a 4-0 lead.  Kansas City answered with four runs in the top of the eighth inning but the Brewers scored on an RBI single by Terence Doston in the bottom of the inning to regain the lead and hang on for the victory.

 

Starting pitcher Adrian Houser hurled six scoreless innings allowing only two hits and striking out four.  Jake Cousins pitched a perfect ninth inning striking out two to pick up the save.

Soccer teams look to play Tuesday

After some teams were met with postponements on Monday, there is hope games could take place on Tuesday.

 

The Sturgeon Bay/Clintonville matchup was postponed on Monday, but the Clippers will try to play Tuesday against Marinette.

Mother Nature to baseball and softball teams: Not yet

Many local baseball and softball teams will have to wait a few more days before getting their first game action of the season.

 

Every softball and baseball scheduled for Monday were either postponed or canceled due to the morning dose of winter weather that was followed in some cases by some rain. That has led to several games being preemptively canceled or postponed for Tuesday. Those games include:

 

  • Sturgeon Bay at Kewaunee (baseball and softball)
  • Gibraltar at NEW Lutheran (baseball and softball)
  • Southern Door at Sevastopol (baseball and softball)

Luxemburg-Casco softball's game against Wrightstown has not been formally canceled or postponed yet according to the Northeastern Conference. That game is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m.

Green Bay's McGee enters transfer portal

Another day, another big piece of the Green Bay basketball team entered his name into the transfer portal on Monday.

 

Several outlets reported Monday that Kamari McGee would be entering the transfer portal, most likely ending his time with the Phoenix. The Racine-product was a star for the Phoenix, earning All-Freshman Team honors in the Horizon League alongside Cade Meyer. An injury to Lucas Steiber, who also entered the transfer portal earlier this year, gave McGee control of the offense for much of the second half of the season. He told the Green Bay Press-Gazette's Scott Venci that he wanted to play on the biggest stage possible and only thought about transferring in the recent days.

 

It continued a disturbing trend for the Phoenix, which has already seen at least five other players leave the program since the season ended in March. Only five players remain with the program. Green Bay lost a similar number of players to the transfer portal at the end of 2021. 

Sturgeon Bay girls soccer visits Clintonville

Sturgeon Bay will look to get their first win of the girls' soccer season Monday when they travel to Clintonville.

 

The Clippers were shut out by Sheboygan South 2-0 in their first action of the season last weekend. The Truckers have lost both of their games so far this season, opening with a 5-1 defeat to New London before being drubbed by DeForest 14-0.

 

If the game is played, it will begin at 4:30 p.m.

Mother Nature to weigh in on Monday's baseball and softball slate

With rain and snow in the forecast for the region Monday morning, the area's baseball and softball teams will have to wait and see if they get to play.

 

Baseball games scheduled for Monday include Gibraltar hosting Sheboygan Lutheran at 4:30 p.m. and Luxemburg-Casco playing at home at the same time against Denmark.

 

Scheduled softball action includes Algoma visiting Luxemburg-Casco at 4:30 p.m.

Bucks lose to Mavs in Sunday matinee

With the state semifinalist Gibraltar Vikings looking on, the Milwaukee Bucks could not hold onto a first-quarter lead as they fell to the Dallas Mavericks 118-112 at Fiserv Forum.

 

The Bucks entered the second quarter with an eight-point advantage, but the Mavericks outscored the champs 32-22 in the second quarter and didn't look back the rest of the way. The Bucks would make a comeback in the fourth quarter, but Luka Doncic took over the game for the Mavs as he scored five points and assisted on two three pointers to extend a one-point lead to eight with just minutes to go. Doncic would lead the Mavericks with 32 points, eight rebounds, and 15 assists on the afternoon. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way for the Bucks with 28 points with  Jrue Holiday adding 20 points in the loss. Khris Middleton scored 11 points and provided nine assists.

 

The Bucks play the Bulls on Tuesday.

Brewers enter final spring training stretch with loss

The Texas Rangers used an eight-run sixth inning to cruise past the Milwaukee Brewers Sunday 13-2.

 

Brandon Woodruff's spring struggles continued as he works on his pitching repertoire. He gave up two homers as a part of his five runs over five innings of work. Aaron Ashby took the brunt of the Rangers' offense, giving up six runs (four earned) over 1 1/3 innings of work. 

 

Kolten Wong and Hunter Renfroe provided the offense for the Brewers, recording RBI singles in the third and sixth innings respectively. 

 

The Brewers begin to wrap up their spring training in Arizona this week with an 8:40 p.m. first pitch against the Colorado Rockies Monday. 

Spartans soccer struggles against Southwest

The Luxemburg-Casco soccer team could not get their offense going for a second straight game Saturday morning as they lost to Green Bay Southwest 5-0 at Green Bay Notre Dame.

Gamblers give up four unanswered in loss on 104.1 WRLU

The Green Bay Gamblers made a comeback in the second period before Team USA stormed back to win 6-2 at the Resch Center.

 

Team USA stormed out to a 2-0 lead after the first period, but the Gamblers' Brody Lamb and Cameron Lund scored goals in the second frame's first three minutes to tie the game up. Team USA took over from there, scoring thrice in the second period and a courtesy goal in the third to give them four unanswered tallies the rest of the game.

 

Aaron Randazzo made 30 saves on 36 shots in the loss for the Gamblers. 

Gamblers look to avenge OT loss on 104.1 WRLU

The Green Bay Gamblers traded goals all night long with Team USA, but it was the visitors that came away with the extra point in the 3-2 overtime win.

 

Danny Nelson and Alex Servagno opened the periods with the goals for the Gamblers, only to have Team USA's Logan Cooley and Ryan Leonard match those scores with ones of their own. Team USA escaped the Resch Center with a win after a scoreless third period when Seamus Casey scored 70 seconds into the opening frame.

Clippers baseball face Rio Community in Ashwaubenon

The Sturgeon Bay Clippers open their 2022 with a new coach at the home of the newly named Green Bay Rockers Saturday afternoon when they play two against Rio Community.

Rio already has a game under their belt, losing to Barneveld 15-1 in Mauston earlier this week.

 

The twin bill is scheduled to take place at 3:30 p.m.

Sturgeon Bay, Luxemburg-Casco soccer open their seasons

Two teams that were originally scheduled to start their seasons together will begin them apart on Friday.

 

The Sturgeon Bay girls soccer team will make the long drive south to take on Sheboygan South after seeing their Thursday matchup get postponed. 

 

The Clippers were originally scheduled to be a part of a soccer quad featuring Green Bay Southwest, Luxemburg-Casco, and Notre Dame Academy. They have since been replaced by Lakeland Union High School from Minocqua. The Spartans will face them Friday night at 7 p.m. before a 9 a.m. matchup against Green Bay Southwest on Saturday.

Weather impacts spring sports

They are on the calendar, but Mother Nature will have the final say on a number of games scheduled for Friday and Saturday.

Gamblers battles Team USA U18 on 104.1 WRLU

A short memory will be needed Friday and Saturday night as the Green Bay Gamblers welcome the Team USA U-18 squad to the Resch Center.

 

The peaking Team USA U-18 squad took it to the Green Bay Gamblers on Sunday, winning the game 10-1. Less than a month out from the 2022 IIHF Under-18 Men's World Championship in Kaufbeuren and Landshut, Germany, from April 21-May 1, 2022, Team USA put up four goals in the first and third periods on their way to the rout of the Gamblers. Eleven different players scored multiple points for Team USA, led by Charlie Stramel (2G, 1A) and Rutger McGroaty (1G, 3A). Ryan Greene provided the lone highlight for the Gamblers with a second-period goal.

 

Both games will air on 104.1 WRLU and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com at 7:05 p.m. with Tobin Meyer on the call.

Giannis passes Kareem in Bucks win

The Milwaukee Bucks secured another victory in the closing seconds while Giannis Antetokounmpo made his mark in the franchise's history once again Thursday night.

 

The Bucks were still in a position to win despite a host of turnovers, including eight from Antetokounmpo and six from Jrue Holiday. The Greek Freak made up for offensive miscues with 44 points, 14 rebounds, and six assists. With that scoring output, Antetokounmpo passed NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then Lew Alcindor) for the most points scored in Bucks history. The clincher was an important bucket as he hit a game-tying three that proved to be important as it forced overtime. The Bucks would go on to outscore the Nets 10-9 in the overtime period to get their 48th win of the season.
