“The whole group played well tonight,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said. “The guys off the bench were great. The starters were great. It takes all of us.” Budenholzer opted for Bobby Portis in Middleton’s spot for a super-sized starting lineup and Portis responded with 18 points. “We’re just trying to win games,” Portis said. “It don’t matter who is out there. We’re just trying to get our camaraderie. Take it one game at a time.”
