Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
#Wolves up 61-53 with 2:40 to go in the first half…#Bucks haven’t been able to string enough stops together to totally close what was a 10-point deficit at one point.
Middleton-Holiday-Allen have combined for 36 of Milwaukee’s points. – 6:09 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Bucks have had a few chances to erase the Timberwolves’ lead, but once they’ve gotten it to five or six, they just haven’t executed well enough to close out a run.
Timberwolves up, 61-53, with 2:40 left in the first half. – 6:09 PM

Minnesota leads Milwaukee 53-48 with 5:31 left in the second quarter.
In 6:29 of action off the bench, Reid has all 12 of his points here in the second quarter, his 6th 10+ point quarter of the season (14th career). – 6:01 PM
Frank Madden @fmaddenNBA
Brutal road trip for Bobby so far and he’s getting chewed up by Naz Reid with KAT on the bench. Awful long stretch without a center on the floor…but then Khris hits two triples and it’s only a 5-point game. – 6:01 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
That’s a pretty sequence from the Bucks.
Middleton starts it with a no-looker to Carter in the dunker, who whips it to the left corner to Nwora. To Allen. Back to Carter. Back to Middleton. Bang.
Middleton up to 13pts/5reb/2ast. Timberwolves up, 53-48, though. 5:31 left in Q2. – 6:00 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Khris MIddleton up to 13 points now and Grayson Allen has 13 for the #Bucks. They trail the #Wolves 53-48 with 5:31 to go in the first half. – 5:59 PM

And there is a double technical on Bobby Portis and Naz Reid.
It looked like Portis was standing at the free throw line talking to one of the officials when he got it. Reid was in the corner of the floor talking at Portis at the time. – 5:54 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Naz Reid and Bobby Portis decided to have a conversation.
Both were assessed technical fouls.
Refs not having this…or trying not to. – 5:53 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Now Portis and Naz are jawin. Double Ts for Portis and Naz. Getting REAL chippy – 5:53 PM

Jason Kidd said Reggie Bullock has rejoined the Mavs in Charlotte after missing most of this road trip for personal reasons, but isn’t playing tonight because “we want him to get a workout in before game action.”
That makes for a likely return Monday vs. Minnesota. – 5:44 PM

Patrick Beverley and George Hill have been ejected. Somehow Serge Ibaka only got a technical – 5:39 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Whoa. Patrick Beverley and George Hill were ejected. There were some pushes, no punches thrown. I don’t know about that one. – 5:39 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Started with Prince and Ibaka tangling up during the free throw. Beverley shoves Ibaka, Hill shoves Beverley.
Then whooooaaaa differences.
(No Country for Old Men reference there, kids) – 5:35 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Serge Ibaka and Patrick Beverley are those dudes. Rest of game should be interesting. – 5:35 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Serge Ibaka was having a conversation with Taurean Prince – then Patrick Beverley had an opinion…which Ibaka then followed him down the court to respond to. #Bucks – #Wolves – 5:33 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Serge Ibaka and Taurean Prince get into after the play. And then things went up a notch when Patrick Beverley and George Hill entered the fray.
Hill shoved Beverley and then everyone was split up. Beverley and Ibaka walked to the other end of the floor and then had more words. – 5:33 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
We’ve got a Pat Bev and Serge Ibaka kerfuffle goin on here.
Bev popped Ibaka with a shove and Ibaka charged after him across the court. – 5:32 PM

Ibaka and Beverley are going AT IT – 5:32 PM
