First and foremost, the Bucks have to do a better job in preventing Trae Young from another productive night. They can’t let him drop another 48 point performance on them and defeat them single-handedly.
How can they do that? They can confine him off pick-and-roles. While this might leave the other players of Hawks to get shots, it’s way better to keep Trae as far away from the basket as possible. Giannis also has to do better on the offense and bring out the ‘Greek Freak’ we all know him to be.
Although it’s easier said than done, if Milwaukee doesn’t find a way to make this happen, consider their game 2 a loss. What are your thoughts on this?
