Giannis is great, but does anyone else notice that Kidd is visibly frustrated by some of his decisions and defense? I mean, Kidd always looks a bit stressed out, but he shakes his head a lot after Giannis has a miscue.
First half was the Bucks moving the ball, but the second half it became iso ball. Giannis just got too tired to do that for the full game. Serious, the Bucks offense was night and day from the first to the second half. Either their gameplan obviously shifted, or the players got too lazy to implement a ball movement offense for the full game. I was worried that if they kept moving the ball for the full game, it would eventually wear on our defense and keep Giannis fresh.
The opposite happened. Teams make runs in the late third on us normally, but our guys are relentless on defense. Then, our best players get rest while theirs don't, which allows our guys to finish the game.
