Giannis Antetokounmpo overcame a sprained right wrist to start the game for the Bucks, but he exited after just six minutes with a right knee injury.
Khris Middleton joined Portis in double figures off the bench, while all-star Jrue Holiday paced the Bucks starters with 24 points and seven assists. Brook Lopez had 17 points and Grayson Allen added 16.
Milwaukee shot 55.1% in scoring 73 first half points and Miami had no real chance to catch up. When the starters were pulled with the Bucks up 121-89 with 4 minutes, 29 seconds left in the game they were 18 for 42 from behind the three-point line and shooting 49% overall. Marquette alumnus Jimmy Butler scored 23 points in 21 minutes while Whitnall High School alumnus Tyler Herro had 14. All-star Bam Adebayo had 18 points.On Sunday evening, Antetokounmpo stood outside his team’s all-star locker room at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City and spoke about how important it was for him to represent himself and the fans in the annual exhibition – and that by doing so while injured made it his second-favorite all-star jersey to possess.
When asked before the game how surprised he was that Antetokounmpo may be cleared to play, Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer said simply,"Very. I mean, the guy's unbelievable."
