Fun first quarter here in Philly, where the Bucks lead 27-24. 10 points on perfect 5-for-5 shooting for Giannis Antetokounmpo, while James Harden had 12 and had two and-ones – including on a 3-point attempt. – 7:36 PM

Sixers already have four turnovers, which have contributed to the Bucks’ six fastbreak points. After some recent (slight) improvement in transition defense, that has slid back the past couple games. Phoenix really got out and ran Sunday afternoon, too. – 7:26 PM

Interesting to see Milwaukee starting out with Wes Matthews both starting and starting on James Harden. Good start for Harden early on, who is already 3-for-3 for 7 points and has converted an and-one for Philly. – 7:16 PM

During his pregame media session, #Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer referenced a few times how #76ers guard Tyrese Maxey had given them problems.
With Maxey-James Harden-Tobias Harris-Matisse Thybulle joining Joel Embiid, Milwaukee added Wesley Matthews to its starting lineup. – 6:50 PM
