But a Lopez dunk gave the Bucks a 101-100 lead and then a three-pointer from the towering 31-year-old took Milwaukee four points clear. Two free throws apiece from Eric Bledsoe and Khris Middleton completed the scoring as the Bucks pulled away to win. "It was a complete team effort," said Lopez, who finished with 11 rebounds and two assists. Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer praised the overall contribution of the team but singled out Lopez for special praise.
