Especially the foul call in the final stages and the disappointing loss that Giannis decided at the end. Given the injury situation of the guard, I couldn’t have expected much more from a competitive standpoint. They wasted big offensive games from Prince, Bobby and Andre and late plays from the Pats. – 5:42pm

“Charles Lee was forced to call a timeout after B2B Andre Jackson made a three,” which I didn’t expect the Bucks to end up getting a dead ball and subbing Giannis. I didn’t…but I accept! Shoot the ball, young people – 5:04 p.m.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bucks led 90-86.
