Giannis, Lillard close it out as Bucks beat Timberwolves 112-107

MINNEAPOLIS – The Milwaukee Bucks turned in perhaps their best win of the season late Friday night, toppling the Western Conference’s best team with a 112-107 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center.

“It was a great barometer for us,” Brook Lopez said. “We put a lot of great work in before the all-star break in the games leading up, the wins and losses didn’t necessarily reflect that but we’d been having great practices, learning a lot from each other, learning a lot from the staff, from Doc and you’ve heard it said – it’s been a training camp atmosphere. We had a great practice yesterday that was just like that. Obviously you don’t need me to tell you that was a great team we just played, the best team in the West. It's a great environment. We just played them a couple weeks ago and they destroyed us, dominated us. So to come out and play the way we played for the majority for the game, that’s a great sign.”
