Bucks extend win streak despite missing Giannis Antetokounmpo

 Bucks have many good players and win 13 games in a row even though Giannis Antetokounmpo didn't play.

The Milwaukee Bucks won their 13th game in a row on Friday night, even though their best player Giannis Antetokounmpo wasn't playing. Antetokounmpo got hurt in the game and had to leave early. People are worried about whether he will be able to play in the next few games.

 

However, the Bucks showed great strength and toughness when he was not there. Jrue Holiday was the top scorer for the team, scoring 24 points and also getting 5 rebounds and 7 assists. The other players also did well, with six of them scoring at least ten points. Brook Lopez scored 17 points, and Bobby Portis, who came back from an injury, got 18 points and 11 rebounds.

 

The Bucks were in control of the game from the beginning. They scored 42 points while the Miami Heat only scored 32 in the first quarter, and they never lost the lead after that. They did a good job shooting from far away, making 19 three-pointers, which was their most of the season. The team's good offense and strong defense helped them win by a lot, their biggest win of the season.

 

This win shows how skilled and deep the Bucks team is. Antetokounmpo is their best player, but when he wasn't there, other players got a chance to show what they can do. Coach Budenholzer said the team worked really hard and stayed focused. He also said they were able to do their best, even without their best player.

 

The Bucks have won more games in a row than any other team in the NBA this season. Right now, they are very close to being in first place in the Eastern Conference, just a little behind the Boston Celtics. The Bucks can still be a strong team even if Antetokounmpo is injured. Their ability to stay strong and keep going will be important as they try to keep winning and go for the championship.
