Almost a blown game! But the Bucks never lead!

The tally so far!

Beal x8
Otto x7
Wall x5
Sato x4
Scott x3
Gortat x3
Oubre x2
Morris
Frazier
Mahinmi

Otto.

He was out of his mind in the first half.

Beal made some tough clutch fadeaways when the Bucks were trying to complete their run. Beal kept them out of reach.

Beal for me. He actually made some clutch plays in the 4th, desperately needed as we barfed all over ourselves after the 1st quarter tonight.

Beal...he made clutch shots down the stretch. But also choked away quite a few plays as well. So break even I guess.

in a quandary...
I want to give it to Beal, but for as many great plays he had, there was one that made you go "wha??"
I want to give it to Otto, but he disappeared in the 2nd half. He had a good 1st half.
I want to give it to Sato for his ball movement in the 1st half. But he had a couple defensive lapses and was not in most of the 2nd half.
I want to give it to Morris because he did some of the little things in the game, and was pretty efficient. But still, he didnt do enough to be the POTG.
I'm just going to say team...

This is pretty close for me. Probably Beal, Otto and Morris, in that order.

Gotta be Beal. 21 points on 8-14 shooting. 8 assists. 7 boards. And a not-awful 3 turnovers. He was clutch down the stretch, not just with his shot but with some nice assists.

Morris deserves an honorable mention. He held Giannis in check when he was in the game. (Giannis did most of his damage when Morris wasn't on him.) Morris also had 14 points on 6-8 shooting including a clutch baseline jumper down the stretch. He also had that nice touch pass to Beal for the 3.

voted Morris

Beal.

Put that grown-man strength on Giannis Antman.

Scott Brooks

Honorable mentioned for ENCOURAGING shot calling when he said "We'll be very happy after the game".

Brent Barry said the rest after the cutaway. (Coach speak for 5 vs 8 in code). Don't worry about it.

Great coaching!

Has to be Beal. He has at least 5 assists in 8 straight games. His floor game has improved so much.

Voted for Beal...he had some boneheaded plays (3 TOs is not painting the full picture, felt like it should be closer to 6), but made some clutch shots and assists in the 4th.

Bradley Beal - 34 minutes, 9/16 FG, 2/5 3PT, 1-3 FT, 61 TS%, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, 3 turnovers, +6, 21 points

Otto Porter - 33 minutes, 7-18 FG, 3-6 3 PT, 47 TS%, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 0 turnovers, +8, 17 points

Marikieff Morris - 32 minutes, 6-8 FG, 1-2 3 PT, 1-1 FT, 83 TS%, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 1 turnover, +8, 14 points

Marcin Gortat - 26 minutes, 2-6 FG, 2-2 FT, 44 TS%, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 0 turnovers, +5, 6 points

Kelly Oubre Jr - 23 minutes, 5-13 FG, 0-2 3PT, 3-3 FT, 45 TS%, 4 rebounds, 1 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 1 turnover, -7, 13 points

Tim Frazier - 20 minutes, 1-4 FG, 6-6 FT, 60 TS%, 3 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 1 turnover, -2, 8 points

Ian Mahinmi - 18 minutes 3-6 FG, 2-5 FT, 49 TS%, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 turnover, -2, 8 points

Jodie Meeks - 16 minutes, 3-5 FG, 1-2 3 PT, 1-2 FT, 68 TS%, 0 turnovers, -7, 8 points

Mike Scott- 14 minutes, 2-6 FG, 33 TS%, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 1 turnover, -5, 4 points.

I don't know how anyone but Kieff is even in the picture for POTG. He didn't rebound, but he sure as hell did everything else! If he doesn't have an *outstanding* game, Beal's last 3 doesn't even matter.

Now... Otto & Brad also had great moments. But this is player of the game, not player of moments.
