Antetokounmpo scores 30, Middleton gets triple-double as Bucks roll past Thunder 118-93

Associated Press  

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Bucks emphatically demonstrated just what they’re capable of accomplishing when they have all their top players available. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 30 points and a season-high 19 rebounds, Khris Middleton recorded his second career triple-double and the Bucks trounced the Oklahoma City Thunder 118-93 on Sunday. “We have so many guys, so many weapons that can carry us, or guys that can make a play or just attract a crowd.” This marked the first time since a Feb. 3 victory at Dallas that the Bucks had Antetokounmpo, Middleton and seven-time All-NBA guard Damian Lillard on the floor for the same game. There’s no more excuses.” Milwaukee broke open a close game in the second half as Oklahoma City fell out of the Western Conference lead. Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 12 points — the first time since Jan. 16 he was held below 20 — and sat out the entire fourth quarter after the Bucks had built a lopsided lead.
