After a four-game winning streak, they are only 0.5 wins away from the Philadelphia 76ers, the first in the East, and this game, they have to challenge the Oklahoma Thunder.
The Thunder are in the bottom of the West, and the team has many injuries and cannot play, in such a situation, the Bucks can not win. However, alexander, the star of the Thunder, is not to be underestimated, after all, he is Chris Paul's apprentice.
Stage an offensive battle
As the team's home star, Alexander showed his strength in the first quarter, shooting 4 of 7, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 13 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, and did a very good job in personal scoring and tandem teams.

After returning from the second quarter, Alexander continued to work hard, leading the team to another 31 points.
But the Bucks' attack had no intention of stopping at all.

20 three-pointers
Defending champion Milwaukee Bucks, once again showed their strength, the whole team hit 20 three-pointers, only used 40 shots, such a three-point firepower, not to mention the Thunder, casually change a team, can not resist. Therefore, it can only be said that Paul's apprentice Alexander is also weak, although he shot 11 of 18, got 33 points, 8 rebounds, 14 assists and 3 steals, but still could not let the game have a little suspense. There is no way, the Bucks' offensive firepower and the strength of the star players are there.
Alphabet brother 13 of 19 shots, three-pointers 4 of 4, got 39 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, when alphabet brother practiced long-range shooting, this league really no one can stop his offense. Middleton also had 25 points, 2 rebounds and 9 assists, Bodow's death was 18 points and 14 rebounds, Holliday had 13 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, and the team's 7 players scored in double figures, sent 35 assists, and grabbed 53 rebounds, whether it was inside data or outside data, all crushed the Thunder.
