The Nets were ready for the two-time MVP on Monday, lying in wait. From the Bucks’ opening possessions, primary defender Blake Griffin bodied up Giannis on his post-ups and drives. Help defenders like Kevin Durant and Bruce Brown dug down and slid into place to make sure he never saw a clear path to the rim. Brooklyn didn’t always build a three-defenders-with-arms-outstretched-across-the-foul-line wall, but the intent remained clear: make the league’s most ferocious rim attacker settle for turnarounds, fadeaways, and pull-ups; live with the makes; and if he does drive, send him to the foul line to earn points there. (Through two games: 2-for-10 from the stripe. Woof.)

Antetokounmpo’s first shot at the rim on Monday didn’t come until the 7:44 mark of the second quarter. (And when it did, it was essentially an accident, born of a missed free throw tapped right back into his hands.) With Giannis mostly misfiring from midrange, the Bucks had no rim-attacking presence to put pressure on Brooklyn’s defense; a Milwaukee team that desperately needs to press its size and strength advantage inside in this series didn’t attempt a single shot in the restricted area in the first quarter.
