The Milwaukee Bucks ended their six-game losing streak with a big 123-100 win over the Utah Jazz at Fiserv Forum. Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way, scoring a combined 65 points.
Lillard scored 34 points, hitting 12 of 22 shots and making 4 of 7 three-pointers. Antetokounmpo added 31 points, 16 rebounds, and 2 assists, setting a new record for career offensive rebounds.
The Bucks’ bench also played a crucial role, with Bobby Portis adding 19 points and AJ Green chipping in 12 points off the bench. They were able to seal the victory thanks to a dominant third quarter in which they outscored the Jazz 31-16.
A lot of credit goes to coach Doc Rivers for making a small but smart change. He started Andre Jackson Jr. instead of Gary Trent Jr., which brought new energy to the team.
This win ended the Bucks’ losing streak and improved their record to 2-6. It gives them a good boost of confidence for their next game against the New York Knicks away from home.

The Bucks were in transition for much of that game. That’s what killed it. The Jazz were handing them the ball with live ball turnovers.

I know we’re not the most talented team, but these are fundamentals. These are things that CAN be coached. We don’t have a good one
