On a Monday night in the nation’s capital, the Milwaukee Bucks prevailed in a defenseless slugfest over the Washington Wizards for their fifth-straight W, 142-129. Giannis Antetokounmpo continued his recent stretch of high-production nights with a 42/13/8 effort, only missing three of his 23 shots. Jordan Poole had 30 for the Wizards.
