The Milwaukee Bucks are up 3-1 on the Chicago Bulls. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday and Grayson Allen have the Bucks ready to advance in the NBA playoffs and defend their title.
Antetokounmpo led the way with 32 points while Allen scored 27 points and Holiday scored 26 points. Their strong performances led the Bucks to a huge win. Allen, in particular, had himself a day. In front of the Bulls crowd that was completely against him, he put on a show.
Allen set Bucks history with his fantastic sharpshooting while outscoring every Bulls player in Chicago over the previous two contests. He drew boos from the Chicago crowd as he sunk shot after shot. Apparently, he thrives when he gets booed, no matter who is doing it.
After the win, Holiday explained that the Bucks sometimes boo Allen and that he plays better with the hostility.
"He be hooping when we boo him, so maybe it means something to him — some form of support." @Jrue_Holiday11 says the boos won't stop for Grayson Allen. The vet knows the Bucks must do whatever it takes to win. 😄 #FearTheDeer pic.twitter.com/eM0M20jKjf

Allen has been a villain for basketball fans everywhere ever since his days at Duke. After injuring Bulls guard Alex Caruso during the regular season, Chicago was ready to watch him fail. They didn't get the pleasure of doing so. Having a player who can thrive — or, even, elevate his play — will be huge as the Bucks look to make another deep run in the NBA playoffs.
With Khris Middleton sidelined with an MCL injury, the Bucks will need every Grayson Allen triple they can get.
