Pat Connaughton broke even for the past week, as did the Milwaukee Bucks. With the regular season getting close to the end, the Bucks split their four games. While it wasn’t quite the case of the Bucks go as Connaughton goes, it’s an interesting thought nonetheless.
In one of his worst games of the season, Connaughton was held to two points in a March 29 road win over the Philadelphia 76ers and missed all four of his 3-point attempts. He bounced back March 31 against the Brooklyn Nets with 11 points and five rebounds. The Bucks returned home April 1 and got blown out by the Los Angeles Clippers, but Connaughton tied his season high with five assists, an output that matched his scoring total for the game. While the Bucks lost April 3 to the Dallas Mavericks, Connaughton scored 12 points, including three 3-pointers.
For the week, Connaughton averaged 7.5 points and 2.3 rebounds a game while shooting 6 of 23 (26.1%) from 3-point range.
