Milwaukee Bucks still managed to win in the absence of Giannis. Their opponent, Rockets, was at the last place of its conference though but still it was a nice win by 126-106. J. Holiday continued to take responsibility in this game also and made a nice double-double having 24 pts and 10 reb. This time, Middleton also helped him having 23 pts. They are at the 3rd place in their conference now.
I'm not surprised with that, they played against the Rockets who are not a good team, or I should say at the bottom of the standing while the Bucks are in a playoff standing. Bucks are a team that does not only rely on Giannis, they have improved already that's why they were successful, if you see their series against the Hawks, they missed Giannis in few games but they still manage to win.
I forget which team the Bucks had a game a couple of nights ago which go into OT, without Giannis, Portis and Middleton, and yet Holiday really take the team to the game and force OT and put the Bucks into a winning possible. So yes, this team is still a championship caliber and even without their star players, others will step up the plate and lead the team. Holiday and Middelton gave US a gold in last Olympics so this two are very experience.
