Bucks Defeat Timberwolves 103-101 Without Giannis, Lillard

The Milwaukee Bucks secured a narrow 103-101 victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves without their All-Stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. Kyle Kuzma led the Bucks with 19 points and 13 rebounds, while Gary Trent Jr. contributed 21 points off the bench. Despite a strong performance from Minnesota's Anthony Edwards, who scored 28 points, his poor shooting night (10 of 33) ultimately hindered the team's chances. The Bucks improved their season record to 29-24 and are positioned as the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference heading into the All-Star Break. This win marks a significant achievement for Milwaukee, demonstrating the team's depth amid injuries. The Timberwolves, now at 30-25, continue to struggle with shooting consistency, finishing with a season-low 37.9% from the field.
