Bucks win in double OT against OKC! An impressive win, with Giannis, Kris, Pat, and Jhru all sitting on the bench in civvies.

What can you say about Jevon Carter and his 36? He was hitting from all over, and hitting others constantly for open shots. One helluva game. If he's found game, he's going to be very difficult for opponents to handle, coming off the bench. He might not be quite as good as Holiday, but it won't be a let down, except slightly, on defense.

Brook Lopez is a leader, no doubt about it. He's like the player he was much earlier in his career. Five blocked shots, and in the 20s again. Forget about that missed free throw that put us in OT. He's playing both ends of the game at a high level.

Marjon Beauchamp is going to be a solid player, no doubt about it. He's earning his playing time by being far better than most people would have expected. He's getting called on ticky-tack fouls because he's a rookie. He has some amazing hand speed, can play defense, and position himself for rebounds. His shooting skills are good too. He's really a breath of fresh air as low in the draft order as we got him. Great pick!

This was one of those games where the bottom of the bench came up and proved they belonged out there. Great team win. Darned good coaching job, keeping them from being winded.
