In a nationally-broadcasted Sunday matinee, the Bucks scratched and clawed their way back into this one and left with a 104-101 win, extending their winning streak to 14 games.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined with a right quad injury, Jrue Holiday’s seven points in the opening frame pushed Milwaukee in front after the first 12 minutes. Their depth aided in them in securing a 33-26 first quarter advantage.
Milwaukee’s 3-point shooting woes continued throughout the second quarter, as they shot just 23.1 percent in the opening half. Going into intermission, the Bucks led by 53-46.
