Another game with a lot of players playing well, I'll go with Rui though.

Gonna give Gafford a shout out.

Hope he didn't sprain that ankle bad.

Rui. Scrapping underneath. Defending off the ball. Engaged, making smart passes. He has been stringing games together of high order play.

Porzingis, looked smooth and nimble and defended well on the interior.

Deni and Kuz.

But mostly: Bucks medical staff. We win against other team's benches. But damn when we win the team looks like they know what they're doing out there.

(And I'm not saying nothin bout a quarter billion dollars sitting on the bench in a sweater).

Rui growing up.

Rui looked great! Also loved what Gaff did early. KP looked good too. Kuz and Deni played pretty good as well overall

Rui was really really good. Looks so much more comfortable out there.

Rui! he seems to have grown leaps and bounds in the past 4-5 games.

Rui was a walking bucket tonight. Milwaukee didn't have anyone who could guard him.

I was really impressed with his athleticism on this play. He accelerated with the ball in his hands and outran every Buck on the floor for the dunk.

But as good as Rui was, I think I'm giving POTG to Gafford for setting the tone early. My man took is straight at DOPY candidate Brook Lopez. The only time this game was in question was in the 1st quarter, and Gafford was the guy responsible for building that early lead.

Honorable mention to Kuzma. His shot was off tonight, but his unselfish passing set the tone for the ball movement we saw all night long.

Gaff with Hon Mention to Rui. Gaff has shown glimpses of being a skilled offensive
player around the rim. It's not always just putback dunks or lobs.

Rui. Points off the bench is his role.
Not to put a dampener on things, but I do think that as time goes, we will forget that this was not a Bucks team at full strength. A good win none the less.
