Fresh off the road, the Milwaukee Bucks tallied their sixth straight victory by edging past the Portland Trail Blazers in a 137-129 win Thursday night at Fiserv Forum.
The Bucks came out firing straight away from the opening tip by burying their first seven shots on the night and establishing control of the game over the Blazers. Portland countered with a run of their own and uncomfortably hung around until a late scoring flurry from the Bucks gave them a 37-27 edge at the end of one.
Milwaukee continued to score at will throughout the second quarter and led by as much as 16 at the 5:52 mark in the period.
