Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 30 points and added a season-high 19 rebounds, Khris Middleton recorded his second career triple and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 118-93 on Sunday.
Middleton had 11 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for his first triple since January 20, 2018.
In the defeat, Montrealer Luguentz Dort appeared to take a hit to the head under the basket, forcing him to leave the game. He played for 22:19 and had seven points.
Oklahoma City posted its lowest shooting percentage this season at .371. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 12 points. This is the first time since January 19 that he has not collected at least 20 points in a game. He was left out in the fourth quarter after the Bucks took a big lead.
It was the first time since the February 3 victory in Dallas that the Bucks relied on Antetokounmpo, Middleton and Damian Lillard in the same game.
Middleton has missed 16 straight games with a sprained left ankle. Lillard also suffered a sprained left ankle that forced him to miss two games in early February. Antetokounmpo returned Thursday after missing two games with a left hamstring issue.
Milwaukee had seven players score at least ten points. Bobby Portis had 15, Lopez 14, Lillard and Pat Connaughton 11 and Jae Crowder 10.
Josh Giddey scored 19 and Jalen Williams added 18 for the Thunder.
