Fix your Milwaukee Bucks with this one weird trick

The trick: playing the Utah Jazz. (And maybe shaking up the starting five.)

Fix your Milwaukee Bucks with this one weird trick

Good morning. Let’s basketball.

Scores

Blazers 105, Spurs 118 — Another quiet night for Victor Wembanyama. This was weird.

Devin Vassell is expected back on Saturday, which is good news for people who want to watch the Spurs more.

Jazz 100, Bucks 123 — Doc Rivers shook up the starting five, replacing Gary Trent Jr. with Andre Jackson Jr., citing the need for more athleticism in the lineup. (Trent actually only played eight minutes off the bench. Something to monitor.) And lo! Milwaukee got the win. That’s probably more about the opponent than the change, but …

Timberwolves 135, Bulls 119 — Chicago carried a small lead for most of the game, and then the Timberwolves just exploded offensively, which teams can definitely do against the Bulls. The Wolves dropped 45 points in the fourth quarter. With nine minutes left in the game, the Bulls led 106-101. With just under two minutes remaining, the Wolves led 131-114. A 30-8 run over just seven minutes.
