Adrian Griffin reveals the Milwaukee Bucks’ heartwarming Christmas initiative for the entire team…
Despite a disappointing Christmas Day defeat to the New York Knicks, with a final score of 129-122, the Milwaukee Bucks are determined to ensure that their players and coaching staff can still celebrate the holiday season with their loved ones.
In a thoughtful move, the Bucks turned the team’s road trip to New York into a family affair. With three games scheduled in New York within a five-day span, including a successful match against the Knicks on Saturday (130-111) and the Christmas Day game, the Bucks organization allowed players and staff to bring their families along for the trip.
Adrian Griffin, the head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, expressed his thoughts on this extraordinary Christmas gesture: “This is a first-class organization. We understand the importance of family, especially during the holidays. It’s challenging for players to be away from their loved ones during such times. Thanks to (general manager) Jon (Horst) and the entire Bucks organization, we can have our families with us. It’s a great gesture, and having the kids around is crucial.”
Griffin acknowledged the dual nature of the trip, recognizing it as both a business endeavor and an opportunity for players to share special moments with their families. Despite potential concerns about focus, the coach emphasized the team’s veteran experience, suggesting that distractions are unlikely to be an issue for this seasoned group.
While the Bucks undoubtedly appreciate the front office’s gesture, the focus now shifts to their final game of the New York trip against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. After the Christmas Day setback, the team is eager to conclude their visit with a victory and make the most of spending the holiday season together in the vibrant atmosphere of the Big Apple.
