In an intense matchup at FedExForum, the Milwaukee Bucks struggled to keep pace with the Memphis Grizzlies. Despite their efforts, the Bucks could not overcome a significant deficit as they fell to the Grizzlies. The game saw the home team dominate from start to finish, leading for nearly 47 minutes and achieving their largest lead of 50 points.


The Bucks put up a total of 101 points throughout four quarters with scoring breakdowns of 18 in the first quarter followed by consistent performances in both third and fourth quarters where they scored 30 each time. However, it was not enough to match up against an aggressive Grizzlies offense that posted an impressive total of 142 points.


Milwaukee's statistics reflected their challenging night; they shot at a field goal percentage of just over one-third and were successful on only one-quarter of their three-point attempts. Their free throw accuracy stood at two-thirds while managing to convert just over half their attempts from within the paint into points.


On individual performances for Milwaukee, bench players contributed significantly with a combined total of 62 bench points out of their overall score. The team managed to secure possession on numerous occasions ending up with over fifty rebounds but only converted these opportunities into eight fast break points.


Conversely, Memphis showcased superior shooting efficiency across all fronts – converting nearly sixty percent from two-point range and maintaining strong performance beyond the arc as well as from free throws line. They also capitalized on turnovers scoring eleven points off them compared to Milwaukee's eight.


Memphis' control was further evidenced by outrebounding Milwaukee significantly and dominating inside scoring an outstanding number in paint-points which accounted for more than half their total score.
