TFW you record a triple-double!! pic.twitter.com/Oh9yrTx0kr – 8:47 PM Michael Pina @MichaelVPina
giannis is probably gonna win his third mvp this year. it’s worth wondering how many he’ll retire with – 8:46 PM Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Giannis whips a pass to the corner to give him a triple-double, then follows it up with a 3-pointer.
He’s got 33 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. Bucks making it look easy right now. – 8:46 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
The Bucks shooters did all they could to get Giannis Antetokounmpo this triple-double. Three 3s from Nwora, Connaughton and Allen get him to ten assists.
And then, he decided to get one of his own. Pull-up 3. He has 33pts/13reb/10ast.
Bucks up, 120-97, with 6:29 left. – 8:45 PM Christian Clark @cclark_13
Giannis, stop. Think of the children. – 8:45 PM Justin Garcia @tmjgarcia
Giannis secures the triple double with all 10 assists going to threes. @EliasSports and @nbastats has this ever happened before?? – 8:45 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Feels like Giannis Antetokounmpo will get his second triple-double of the season / 27th of his career … 7 minutes to go in this one… – 8:43 PM Justin Garcia @tmjgarcia

@620wtmj & @ESPNMilwaukee – 8:42 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Bucks up, 108-91, with 8:22 left. And Mike Budenholzer took a timeout to challenge the foul on Jordan Nwora.
Looked like multiple Bucks defenders tipped the ball cleanly on the initial in-arena replay here at Fiserv Forum. – 8:38 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Giannis Antetokounmpo convinces Mike Budenholzer to challenge the foul call on Jordan Nwora. #Bucks up 108-91. – 8:38 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Pelicans trying to muck it up one last time and get back in this with a 2-3 zone.
They were just down 20, but cut it to 14. Pat Connaughton 3 pushed it back out to 17. – 8:37 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks

Jones 9 pts, 3 stls & 3 blks
Hart 7 pts, 11 rebs & 8 assts – 8:25 PM Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Pelicans are trailing the Bucks 96-82 after three quarters and it’s readily apparent they’re trying to win a game from 3-point range more than usual. Up to 38 shot attempts from deep. Season high is 44 but 12 minutes remain.
How about a good hot streak a la Temple vs CLE? – 8:25 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
Time to close it out. pic.twitter.com/VHLtHwiE29 – 8:24 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Foul ridden last couple minutes of the third quarter, but the #Bucks are up 96-80 with 27 seconds left. – 8:22 PM Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
As mention in this morning’s scouting report houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-n… via @houstonchron teams coming off layoff often shoot poorly early. Nuggets 1 of 8 to start, 1 of 6 on 3s. Unlike in Milwaukee when Bucks misfired early, Rockets build a quick cushion, up 13-4 in 4 1/2 minutes. – 8:19 PM Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Herb Jones has 3 steals and 3 blocks thru 3 quarters.
Anthony Davis is the only other rookie in franchise history to finish a game with 3+ blocks and 3+ steals. He did it once. – 8:18 PM New Orleans Pelicans @PelicansNBA

#Pelicans have shot at least 60% from the foul line in every game this season, but are under 50% so far at Mil (8 of 17). They entered Saturday ranked seventh in #NBA in FT percentage (79.6) – 8:13 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Giannis Antetokounmpo has flirted with triple doubles all season – he has one.
Currently has 22 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. – 8:12 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
TOUGH BUCKET GRAYSON!! 😤 pic.twitter.com/er74UHXxh0 – 8:12 PM Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Bucks starting to pull away now. They’ve outscored the Pels 24-14 in the quarter. Giannis is getting any shot he wants. – 8:10 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
I think that’s the first time we’ve seen someone try to flop against Jrue Holiday on a post-up. Devonte’ Graham fell, but did not get the call.
Holiday up to 15pts/5reb/5ast. Antetokounmpo up to 22. Bucks up, 88-70, with 5:20 left in the third quarter. – 8:10 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski

This is the third time that the Clippers are completing a 5-in-7 stretch.
They started well in New Orleans and Sacramento as well.
Brooklyn ate up a 10-point deficit, lead 30-29 despite shooting only 40.7% FGs.
James Harden has 3 assists, Nets have only 2 turnovers. – 8:07 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Willy Hernangomez is a big dude and he just bounced off of Giannis Antetokounmpo on that drive. Ridiculous. – 8:06 PM Christian Clark @cclark_13

The season-long stats say #Pelicanns guard Josh Hart shoots 81% (81!) from the free throw line.
He is currently 2-for-11 in 1.5 games against the #Bucks.
Those 9 misses account for 47% of his TOTAL misses on the season so far.
So, so weird. – 7:54 PM New Orleans Pelicans @PelicansNBA

Hayes 13 pts
Jones 7 pts & 3 stls
Hart 3 pts, 7 rebs & 6 assts
Pels shot 39.2 percent from the field, 8-16 at the FT line. They’re putting up a decent fight against the defending champs. Just gotta limit those mistakes on offense. – 7:44 PM Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Pelicans are trailing 64-56 at halftime and missed 8 of 16 free throws in first half. They’re normally a good-shooting team from the stripe. Still, a solid first 24 minutes because New Orleans was very competitive. A lot of good minutes from most of the guys. – 7:43 PM Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez

Jaxson Hayes Euro-step followed by a Herb Jones 3 — Jax drew a pair of Bucks on his dive to the rim to give Jones a wide open jumper from deep.
Really great stuff outta Jax so far! – 7:34 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Nice little second quarter for Jordan Nwora. Eight points on two threes and a nifty drive to the rim. – 7:34 PM Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Jaxson Hayes hits Boogie with a euro-step bank shot to give him 11 points off the bench.
Hayes has made all 5 of his shot attempts. Doing a really good job of showing different parts of his game. – 7:33 PM Christian Clark @cclark_13
Jaxson Hayes giving the Pels some really good minutes. – 7:33 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks

Giannis Antetokounmpo appeared mad at himself for getting to the challenge of Jaxson Hayes too late and slapped the stanchion.
He was given a technical for the display. – 7:29 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Giannis Antetokounmpo gets T’d up for slapping the stanchion after missing his block attempt. – 7:28 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
That was a pretty bit of playmaking from Grayson Allen. Snaked the pick and roll in both directions before hitting the wraparound pass to Cousins. – 7:25 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks

Devonte Graham gives the Pelicans a 37-30 lead over the Bucks early in the second quarter after a couple of 3s. New Orleans playing harder now and they’re reaping the rewards. Gang rebounding, fighting for positioning, pushing in transition. Great to see for the undermanned team. – 7:19 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Bobby Portis hit a 3 to give the Bucks a 30-27 lead with 11:30 left in the second quarter.
Pelicans just went on a 10-0 run and now lead, 37-30, with 9:32 left in the quarter. – 7:17 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Grayson Allen fell into the stanchion under the #Pelicans basket. Couldn’t quite see but he got up slow and hurting a bit. – 7:16 PM New Orleans Pelicans @PelicansNBA

Bobby Portis is hit with a tech and a personal foul at the 10:38 mark of the second quarter. #Pelicans up on the #Bucks 31-30. – 7:14 PM Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
First quarters have been mostly a minus for #Pelicans since Dec. 1, but given how many ill-advised decisions they made with the ball (5 turnovers, a few passes that didn’t have much of a chance to connect), not bad to only trail Mil by 3 – 7:11 PM Will Guillory @WillGuillory
End of the 1st: Bucks 27, Pelicans 24
NAW 7 pts
Temple 6 pts & 3 rebs
Hernangomez 4 pts & 4 rebs

Pelicans trailing Bucks 27-24 after one. Nickeil Alexander-Walker splashed home a couple of 3s in the final minute of the first quarter, but Josh Hart fouling George Hill right before the buzzer hurt. – 7:10 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Mike Budenholzer is pantomiming George Hill getting into his shooting motion in the hopes George Hill could’ve gotten three free throws. Instead he gets two. #Bucks end the first quarter up 27-24 on the #Pelicans – 7:08 PM Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
For those wondering, it seems that there is a 48-hour timeframe in the “return to competition reconditioning” phase, which means the #Pistons could get most of their roster back tomorrow or Tuesday, in time for their next game, at Milwaukee. – 7:07 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks

#Pelicans defense has been pretty disruptive in 1Q (Jones 3 stl, Temple 1 stl) and they’re capitalizing on other end, running when they get the chance. Hayes clean-up layup, then fast-break hoops by Jones and Hayes off nice setups from Temple – 6:58 PM Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez
Ugly start for New Orleans and they still have a 14-10 lead on Milwaukee early.
Pels shooting 6-20 (started 4-18) but have turned 5 Bucks turnovers into 12 points.
Herb Jones already with 3 steals. – 6:57 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
On New Year’s Day, the #Bucks have opened shooting 3 for 11 (27%) and the #Pelicans are shooting 6-for-20 (30%). The teams are a combined 3-for-16 from behind the three-point line.
New Orleans is up 14-10. – 6:56 PM Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
All three of Herb Jones’ steals have led to points for the Pelicans. Things tied up at 10-10 with the Bucks – 6:55 PM Will Guillory @WillGuillory

He’s got 33 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. Bucks making it look easy right now. – 8:46 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
The Bucks shooters did all they could to get Giannis Antetokounmpo this triple-double. Three 3s from Nwora, Connaughton and Allen get him to ten assists.
And then, he decided to get one of his own. Pull-up 3. He has 33pts/13reb/10ast.
Bucks up, 120-97, with 6:29 left. – 8:45 PM Christian Clark @cclark_13

Pelicans are trailing the Bucks 96-82 after three quarters and it’s readily apparent they’re trying to win a game from 3-point range more than usual. Up to 38 shot attempts from deep. Season high is 44 but 12 minutes remain.
