QUOTABLE

Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo on effort in the loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves: "It was both. It was first of all frustrated because they were making every shot. You could not get momentum, couldn't get stops, but even the shots that they missed, we couldn't get a rebound. Effort was low for sure. There's gonna be nights like that in the NBA.

I've been a part of not many, but I understand there's gonna be times that you might come out flat and there's gonna be a team that's going to come out with a lot of energy and going to shoot the [bleep] out of the ball and don't give you no life, and that's what they did tonight. I don't think they gave us any life, even when they missed they got the rebounds. When you over-helped, they made the right pass. When you didn't contest the shot, they made the shot. So they gave us no life."
