Though they almost rallied from an eighteen-point first-half hole, the Milwaukee Bucks fell to the New Orleans Pelicans at Smoothie King Center tonight, barely hitting the century mark in a slog of a game. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 35, but just three of those came in the fourth. Zion Williamson notched 28 for the victors.
