Bucks cruise past short-handed Grizzlies

Milwaukee Bucks saw Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton combine for 60 points in the 126-114 triumph over the short-handed Memphis Grizzlies. Antetokounmpo also had 15 rebounds in his tally and overpowered Grizzlies easily.

Memphis was without their leading scorers Dillon Brooks and Desmond Bane for the night but saw an amazing performance from Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr, but Grizzlies fell short in the three-point department making just 9 of 40 beyond the arc. Morant scored 33 points and 14 assists and Jackson Jr. scored 29 points for Memphis who closed the gap from a seven-point deficit to 114-111 with 2:32 minutes left but Bucks kept control and Antetokounmpo, in the end, scored six straight to make it 122-111 and not give Memphis a chance to steal a win.
