Bucks Fall to Grizzlies in Blowout, Shooting Woes Continue

The Milwaukee Bucks suffered a disappointing 122-99 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night, their second straight defeat. The game saw a continuation of the Bucks' recent struggles with shooting, as they shot a dismal 40.7% from the field and a paltry 25.9% from three-point range.

Grizzlies Dominate from the Start

The Grizzlies jumped out to an early lead, outscoring the Bucks 35-21 in the first quarter. They continued their dominance throughout the game, leading by as many as 32 points in the fourth quarter. Ja Morant led the Grizzlies with 29 points, while Jaren Jackson Jr. added 25 points and 7 rebounds.

Bucks Offense Stumbles

The Bucks' offense struggled to find its rhythm all night. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 23 points, but he shot just 9-for-20 from the field. Jrue Holiday added 17 points, but the rest of the Bucks' offense was largely ineffective. The team's shooting struggles were particularly evident from beyond the arc, as they made only 8 of 31 three-point attempts.

Key Takeaways

• Shooting woes persist: The Bucks' inability to shoot the ball consistently remains a major concern. They've now shot under 45% from the field in three of their last four games.
• Grizzlies' dominance: Memphis demonstrated their strength, especially in the first half, showcasing their offensive firepower and defensive intensity.
• Need for adjustments: The Bucks need to find a way to improve their shooting and overall offensive efficiency if they want to remain competitive.

The Bucks will look to rebound from this disappointing loss as they face the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. Can they rediscover their offensive rhythm and avoid another blowout?
