Maybe it takes a strong opponent to bring out the best in the Milwaukee Bucks, or maybe they were riding an emotional high with the return of point guard Jrue Holiday.
In either case, the Bucks took on a strong Memphis Grizzlies team Wednesday night and sent them home with a 126-114 loss.
Before that big win, Milwaukee had dropped six of its last eight games.
Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 33 points, had 15 rebounds, and 7 assists.
Khris Middleton added another 27 points.
Holiday didn’t start, but he scored nine points and dished out four assists in 21 minutes of action.
Ja Morant showed up big for Memphis with 33 points and 14 assists, but the Bucks held on.
Milwaukee hosts another tough opponent – the Chicago Bulls – Friday night.
