Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer credits the energy Brook Lopez provides to the floor after their win over the weekend.
“For Brook to come out, it just kind of energized the whole team. It gave us a huge boost,” said Budenholzer after their win against the Atlanta Hawks Saturday night.
“Giannis and Jrue [Holiday] knew they had another guy who was going to help carry the load.
“When Brook is making threes and blocking shots, the team loves him/ It’s just a little extra value added besides just the obvious points.”
