Khris Middleton’s back-to-back, Lillard’s injury and Cavs are tough: 3 Bucks observations

New York Times  

The Milwaukee Bucks celebrated an NBA Cup title Tuesday in Las Vegas. “They’re definitely one of the best teams in the NBA, and you can see why,” Antetokounmpo said following Friday’s game. “It’s definitely harder,” Antetokounmpo said of going against the Cavaliers’ defense. “He worked out and felt pretty good.” Without Lillard on Friday, Rivers opted against putting a traditional point guard in the starting lineup as the Bucks went the entire first half without playing one. “Going through the course of rehab, coming back and playing and the way that I’ve been responding after games,”Middleton said, “I thought would be a great shot to see what a back-to-back felt like and hopefully move past that stage where I can’t play in back-to-backs anymore.
