  • There’s a cute baby sitting across the aisle from me on my flight home and she just cracked a big, two-toothed smile when I waved at her. The best. Totally giving me life right now.

  • Latest for the @journalsentinel : Bucks plan to waive Gary Payton II, add new player jsonl.in/2BzokUs

  • Can confirm @ChrisBHaynes report that Bucks plan to waive Gary Payton II on Mon. as his days of service run out. Per source, Bucks have their eye on another player to take his spot and need to move quickly to get him. New player on two-way would get pro-rated days (30ish) in NBA.

  • Bledsoe when asked about his wrist: “It’s fine. Just a little sprain, but I’m cool.”

    On subbing out early to get it re-taped: “It just needed to be tighter, put a little more pressure on it. … It’s something that’s been lingering for a while. I’ve just got to play through it.”

  • Eric Bledsoe said he’s been playing through a left wrist sprain. Said it’s a lingering thing. He came out early in the 1st quarter because his tape wasn’t tight enough and wanted his wrist re-taped. Ultimately played 36 minutes and scored 19 points on 7 of 18 shooting.

  • Bucks fall 115-111. Another game close in the 4th quarter where they couldn’t get over the hump. Went 8 of 27 on 3’s (Middleton 3/9; Bledsoe 1/7). Season-high 34 fouls. Giannis had 28 point & Brogdon added 20 off the bench.

  • Giannis misfires on a 3 and Harden will head to the line with Houston up 111-106 with 21.8 seconds left. Bucks have been called for a season-high 32 fouls.

  • Tough jumper from CP3 with 33.7 seconds left puts Houston up 111-104. That's probably it.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 3:20:27 AM
  • Bucks pulled within 4 with an 8-0 run before Trevor Ariza just got free for a corner 3.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 3:17:19 AM
  • Brogdon with a 3 then absorbs a pushoff from Harden and bounces back, fouling The Beard on a 3 that goes in.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 3:07:54 AM
  • Here comes Harden with 6:28 left. Rockets up, 95-85.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 3:06:44 AM
  • Rockets push lead to 12 with Harden on the bench. Bucks can't get much going on offense. Dangerous times.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 3:06:04 AM
  • Two missed layups by Giannis — he expected a foul call on the second — and the Bucks are in an 8-point hole at 91-83 with 8:22 left as Jason Kidd calls timeout.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 3:01:26 AM
  • Sterling Brown stopped short, giving Eric Gordon way too much space for that 3. Was Gordon's 1st make on 5 attempts.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 2:58:50 AM
  • James Harden with a layup to beat the 3rd-quarter buzzer and the Rockets lead the Bucks, 84-79, heading into the 4th. Harden up to 25 points to lead Houston, with 10 in the 3rd. Giannis tops the Bucks with 20. Bucks have committed 26 fouls & Rockets have made 28/31 FTs.

  • So much hustle there from the Bucks. First Sterling Brown saved a miss from going out then GP2 w/ an acrobatic putback on a missed runner by Middleton.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 2:51:44 AM
  • Nene blocked by the rim on a dunk attempt then fouls Henson going for a dunk of his own. Bucks have used a 13-3 run to pull within one at 73-72 with the FTs pending. There's 2:24 left in the 3rd.

  • Brown replaces Liggins, not Bledsoe, FYI. twitter.com/Matt_Velazquez…
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 2:44:35 AM
  • Eric Bledsoe called for his 4th foul and here comes Sterling Brown, who has 4 fouls of his own.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 2:43:46 AM
  • Brogdon layup then Liggins with a great pass to Bledsoe who gets a layup and the foul. Quick, much-needed 5-0 run for the Bucks.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 2:40:19 AM
  • Chris Paul was 0/5 from the field at half. He's taken 3 shots in the second half — all 3-pointers — and he's made them all. Bucks down 70-59 with 7:06 left in the 3rd as Jason Kidd calls timeout.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 2:36:41 AM
  • Khris Middleton, who has missed 2 open looks from 3, just committed his 4th foul. Here comes Brogdon.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 2:35:50 AM
  • Chris Paul with his second 3 of the night (on 6 attempts) and the Rockets have their largest lead at 8.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 2:35:22 AM
  • DeAndre Liggins fouled James Harden on a 3 and now John Henson has fouled PJ Tucker on a 3. Both of those plays have happened in the 2:35 that have elapsed here in the 3rd quarter. Accounts for all 6 of Houston's points since half.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 2:32:31 AM
  • I don't understand what Giannis was doing there. Just held the ball for all 8 seconds of the shot clock out of the timeout. Not a shot clock violation because Henson whistled for 3 seconds with 0.1 left on the shot clock.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 2:28:45 AM
  • Chris Paul is 0-5 with five turnovers at halftime. He has never turned the ball over more than 7 times in a regular season game.

  • Rockets just 4/19 (21.1%) on 3's tonight. Shooting 3's is what they do. If they start making them, though, the Bucks are going to be in trouble.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 2:18:55 AM
  • Such a wily move by Bledsoe on that one. Great awareness. twitter.com/UMPHreakof85/s…
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 2:10:13 AM
  • Eric Bledsoe with a steal and that brings us to the half with the score knotted at 55. Bledsoe and Brogdon lead the Bucks with 13 points each. Nene — yes, Nene — leads the Rockets with 16 points on 7/8 shooting.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 2:09:43 AM
  • Eric Bledsoe has been getting swarmed and stymied on a lot of drives tonight. Just had the ball ripped away by Nene and committed a frustration foul. That's 3 on Bledsoe with 11.4 seconds left in the half.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 2:07:34 AM
  • Henson stays in. All good. Bucks lead, 50-48, after the Giannis and-1.
    by Matt Velazquez via twitter 12/17/2017 2:04:13 AM
  • Henson sitting down now and got attention from trainers. Had a talk with Sean Sweeney and seems to be OK considering he's been left alone. Initial reaction didn't look good, though.
