After scoring 85 points in the first half against the Washington Wizards, the Milwaukee Bucks set a new franchise record for the most points in the first half of a game.

The Bucks were completely destroying the Wizards. The team has absolutely no one who can guard Giannis Antetokounmpo, and he completely dominated. He scored 19 points on 8/9 shooting. His impact simply makes his teammates better just by being on the court. He spreads the floor with skip passes and his nasty ball-handling skills.

The Wizards really have struggled this season as a whole. In mid-November, their front office headed by Ernie Grunfeld announced that their entire team would be on the trading block.

Since then, Kelly Oubre, Austin Rivers, and Otto Porter have all been traded away. They've gone into full reset mode.

Even though they aren't able to trade away John Wall because of his injuries and his horrible contract, the team still was able to restart their future around Bradley Beal moving forward.
