The Milwaukee Bucks felt the impact of Khris Middleton’s return to the court immediately on Sunday afternoon, as even with Giannis Antetokounmpo sitting out to rest up the Bucks were able to dismantle the Phoenix Suns thanks to Middleton picking up right where he left off in terms of efficient scoring and playmaking, Damian Lillard putting up the first 30 point/15 assist game in Bucks history, and Bobby Portis pouring in buckets all night and out-playing Kevin Durant with his 31 point performance in front of the raucous home crowd.

Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed those major performances, as well as other encouraging notes like Jae Crowder’s shot dropping more often before going into the Bucks playoff rotation and a brief look ahead to Bucks/Celtics on Wednesday.
