For the second consecutive game at the Bradley Center, the Bucks came out with a mammoth victory, defeating the Sacramento Kings 117-91.
The combo of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker made life tough for the opposition yet again. Antetokounmpo nearly obtained his first triple-double of the year, with a stat line of 17 points, eight assists and eight rebounds. Parker contributed with 19 points.
Mirza Teletovic also had a coming out party, knocking down seven 3-pointers en route to 22 total points. He went 5-of-5 from beyond the arc to begin the game.
Defense kept the Bucks ahead of the Kings all night. For nearly the entire first half and beyond, Milwaukee held a double digit lead. Tipped passes would translate into fast break points, a category in which the Bucks dominated the Kings, 26 points to one.
A 21-3 run began the third quarter for Milwaukee, with nine of those coming from Parker. The Kings finally stopped the bleeding with a Garrett Temple 3-pointer with just over three minutes remaining in the period.
For the Kings, GarrettTemple led the team in scoring with 19 points off the bench. DeMarcus Cousins added in 15 points. Their scoring took a hit as Rudy Gay, who is averaging 22.5 points per game so far this season, sat due to sore ribs.
Up next, the Bucks will travel to play the Mavericks in Dallas tomorrow. They will return home to the BMO Harris Bradley Center next Thursday for a matchup against the New Orleans Hornets and then take on the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday, Nov. 12.
