Facing a team that was playing for the second time in two nights, the Bucks never trailed after Brook Lopez hit two 3-pointers, Donte DiVincenzo and Khris Middleton added one apiece and Antetokounmpo turned a lob into a three-point play in a game-opening, 21-10 flurry.

Milwaukee went on to lead by as many as 23 in the second quarter and 36 in the third before giving its key players all or most of the fourth period off.
