MILWAUKEE — — Khris Middleton led all scorers with 31 points as the Milwaukee Bucks destroyed the Golden State Warriors 138-99 on Christmas Day.
Middleton went 6 for 8 from the 3-point line and 10 of 15 overall. Scoring 58 points total in his first two games of the season.
“The weeks before the season, I just tried to put in good work, work on my game,” Middleton said. “So far, it’s been working for me.”
The Warriors are having a rough start to the season, being outscored by 65 points in their first two games.
“The thing I was most disappointed in is we just had two good days of practice with our execution working on getting in our offense and making hard cuts and reads, and we did not execute much of anything,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “It was kind of scattered and disorganized. I’m disappointed in that. I’ve got to take the blame for that. I’m the head coach.”
The two-time reigning NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 15 points and 13 rebounds but shot 4 of 15 from the floor and 7 of 15 from the foul line.
Stephen Curry scored 19 points for the Warriors, and Rookie big man James Wiseman continues to show promise as he scored 18, but the Warriors struggle on are on going.
