MILWAUKEE — Giannis Antetokounmpo had 30 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds for his 50th career triple-double as the Milwaukee Bucks beat Sacramento 130-115 on Tuesday night to snap the Kings' seven-game win streak.
Antetokounmpo's triple-double was his fifth of the season. He had a sixth in the Bucks' NBA Cup championship victory over Oklahoma City, but players' statistics from that game aren't official.
Damian Lillard had 24 points, Brook Lopez 21 and A.J. Green 16 for the Bucks, who never trailed and led by as many as 28.
DeMar DeRozan scored 28, De'Aaron Fox 20 and Keon Ellis 18 for Sacramento. Domantas Sabonis had 16 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists.
Sacramento's Malik Monk didn't play due to a sore right groin. The Bucks didn't have Khris Middleton (ankle injury management) or Gary Trent Jr. (hip flexor strain).
Takeaways
Kings: Sacramento dropped to 7-2 under interim head coach Doug Christie. Sacramento hadn't lost since a 132-122 road defeat against the Los Angeles Lakers on Dec. 28, the day after Mike Brown was fired.
Bucks: Milwaukee posted its highest point total of the season and led by as many as 28 points early in the second quarter, as the Bucks bounced back two nights after a 140-106 loss at New York.
