Milwaukee Bucks defeat Timberwolves 139-112

Bucks spoil Chris Finch’s debut with Minnesota Timberwolves with Giannis Antetokounmpo’s almost triple-double during the match, he ended the match with 37 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists to contribute to the 139-112 win. This was the third back-to-back win for Milwaukee while Timberwolves stare at the hard end of the stick at their fifth back-to-back loss but first one under coach Chris Finch, who took over the coaching duties from Ryan Saunders on Sunday.

The win bodes well for the Bucks who would not now meet the three toughest challengers to the title New Orleans, L.A. Clippers, and Denver. Without Jrue Holiday on the roster Bucks did well as they learned to manage without the player who has missed his ninth consecutive game. Karl-Anthony Towns and Malik Beasley were at 26 points each.
