Bucks vs. Bulls: Grayson Allen’s hot shooting night leads Milwaukee to 2-1 series lead over Chicago
CHICAGO — With the current information that Milwaukee Bucks ahead Khris Middleton will probably miss the rest of the collection in opposition to the Chicago Bulls with a sprained MCL, the primary storyline heading into Recreation 3 on Friday night time was who would step up for the Bucks in Middleton’s absence. We have actually seen Giannis Antetokounmpo win video games on his personal by placing up absurd numbers, however asking him to do all of it cannot be Plan A.
Fortunately, Milwaukee by no means actually wanted Giannis to go utterly nuclear on offense. Within the first 5 minutes of the sport for the Bucks, middle Bobby Portis drained two 3-pointers, Brook Lopez netted a triple of his personal and Jrue Vacation had two easy finishes on the rim. It was the majority of what resulted in a 17-9 lead for the Bucks, forcing the Bulls to take their first timeout of the sport. That early onslaught from the position gamers ended up being a style of what was to return for the remainder of the night time as Milwaukee rolled Chicago to a 111-81 win.
Giannis completed the sport with a modest stat line of 18 factors, 9 assists and 7 rebounds, whereas solely taking 12 pictures and enjoying 29 minutes. The explanation for that “quiet” night time from the two-time league MVP was due to the manufacturing the Bucks had been getting from everybody else. Grayson Allen completed with a playoff profession excessive of twenty-two factors, Portis tacked on 18 factors, Vacation had 16 and Pat Connaughton completed with 11 factors. It was the precise sort of effort Milwaukee wanted because it confronted a raucous United Middle crowd with out its second-best participant accessible.
“The entire group performed nicely tonight,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer stated after the sport. “The fellows off the bench had been nice, the starters had been nice. It takes all of us.”

Though Milwaukee acquired important assist from a number of gamers, the night time belonged to Allen, who went from placing up a mixed three factors within the first two video games of this collection to draining 5 3-pointers en path to his profession night time.
“Mentally my mindset [in my role] was the identical, perhaps I used to be a bit of bit faster to shoot a few of these catch-and-shoot pictures I acquired, however I feel it was simply being in several spots,” Allen stated after the sport. “A few of these spots that Khris is often in on offense — high of the important thing, enjoying off of post-ups, isolations — I used to be there and acquired the ball swung [to me] they usually collapsed laborious on Giannis and Jrue all recreation lengthy so I used to be capable of benefit from that.”
Allen’s efficiency was paying homage to a stretch of the schedule early within the season when Middleton was sidelined for eight video games with COVID-19. Throughout that span, Allen began in every recreation and averaged 18.3 factors whereas capturing 50.7 % from deep on over eight makes an attempt a recreation. Whereas he got here off the bench on this recreation, his position was nonetheless the identical. Knock down pictures when the protection collapsed on Giannis and Holliday, get to the rim if the choice was accessible and be aggressive on protection.
He actually delivered in all three of these areas, and though the Bucks may not be capable to financial institution on Allen placing up over 20 factors each night time, he is an vital piece to the puzzle for Milwaukee because it tries to navigate this collection with out Middleton.
“He is a assured shooter,” Budenholzer stated. “I feel the factor with Grayson, he is nice off the bounce too. I feel folks underestimate how he can assault closeouts and drive it. We want that steadiness. We want some guys that may be on the bottom and beat guys off the dribble.”
Looking forward to the remainder of the collection, Milwaukee will want gamers reminiscent of Allen, Portis and Connaughton to stay aggressive and assured of their shot because the Bulls will proceed to offer a bulk of their defensive consideration to Antetokounmpo and Holliday. All three of these guys confirmed up in Recreation 3, now we’ll must see if it might carry over to the remainder of the collection because the Bulls attempt to modify for Recreation 4 on Sunday.

It’s Bike Week 2024 and with the weather turning nicer and nicer, folks are looking to get back out on the roads for a little exercise, and take advantage of the great biking infrastructure we have in Milwaukee. In this month’s Drivers Ed with Debbie, she sits down with a bike expert to see how things are going.
Do you remember your first bike? It was your first feeling of freedom. You thought, now that I have my own transportation, I can go anywhere.
Well, it’s true.
“There is no doubt that bikes help kids explore more and feel, you know, the self-confidence just grows so much more when you are on a bike and the freedom that you get is just parallel to none,” says Owner of Wheel & Sprocket, Amelia Kegel.
She says it truly is a rite of passage for kids as well as parents. I mean, who doesn’t remember running alongside your kid as they finally got rid of those training wheels?
It’s not just about wheels, pedals, and brakes these days.
Kegel says “There is no doubt that the cheapest bicycle is going to be from a department store. But I’ve got to just say, the bikes that you get from a department store are not built to last.”
Most bike shops have upped their game when it comes to selection. Their bikes range from the most economical to the high-end, ultra-competitive $15,000 models for the Ironman races. But it wasn’t always like this. During the height of the pandemic, many shops had an inventory issue.
“There used to be no bikes in bike stores, but if you can see behind me, we are at the best stocking level we’ve actually ever been. [Supply chain] has been an issue, but we’ve navigated it,accordingly. We may not have exactly the right color, the right size, but we have a bike that’ll do what you are looking to do,” explains Kegel.
And with the road improvements specifically for bikes in many municipalities, it’s making things easier to get around in this mode.
But don’t forget, Wisconsin has some of the best bike trails in the country.
Kegel says, “And if you haven’t been on a bike in a while, like this might be the summer for you. We’ve never had better bike infrastructure here in the city. Milwaukee has the Oak Leaf Trail system that’s 120 miles that spans like north, south, east, and west of the city. The connectivity of bike paths has never been better, too.”
Oh, and please remember, if you are on a bike, you are required to follow all the rules of the road, like cars. So stop lights, stop signs, yield signs, and crossing signals all apply to you, too.
It’s all about being predictable. Most car versus bike accidents happen because the driver didn’t know what the biker was about to do. So best to keep all the hand signals and rules you learned as a kid in mind. They still apply. So take some time this week to get in touch with that kid again, and remember this philosophy, good for learning to ride, as well as a metaphor for life:
If you look at the ditch, you go in the ditch. But in this life, if you look at the road, you stay on the road.
