GIANNIS Antetokounmpo had 11 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists in only 29 minutes—the reduced minutes due in part to a cut he suffered during the game— and the visiting Milwaukee Bucks trounced the Toronto Raptors 128-104 on Monday night (Tuesday in Manila).
Damian Lillard had 15 of his 25 points in the third quarter for the Bucks, who were coming off two straight home losses and led by as many as 33 points in the fourth quarter.
It was Antetokounmpo’s fourth triple-double of the season and the 49th of his career. He had a cut finger that was treated during the game. He was able to continue until the game was under control, and he sat for the fourth quarter.
RJ Barrett had 25 points, nine rebounds and five assists for Toronto after missing three games with an illness. With his return, the Raptors had their projected starting lineup together for the first time this season.
In other games, it was the Kings 123, Heat 118 (OT); Pistons 118, Blazers 115;
Suns 109, Sixers 99; Magic 103, Knicks 94; Bulls 114, Spurs 110; Pacers 113, Nets 99; Grizzlies 119, Mavs 104; and Wolves 108, Clippers 106.
Kings 123, Heat 118 (2OT)
DeMar DeRozan poured in nine of his game-high 30 points in the second overtime, helping Sacramento outlast visiting Miami for its fifth straight win under interim coach Doug Christie.
After missed shots and free throws dominated the final seconds of regulation and the first overtime, the teams were still tied—at 117-all—in the second extra session before DeRozan hit three shots, the third an 18-footer that opened up a five-point lead with just 12.8 seconds to play.
Domantas Sabonis put up a triple-double for the Kings with 21 points, a game-high 18 rebounds and a game-high 11 assists to go along with three blocks. Without Jimmy Butler (suspension) in the opener of a six-game Western Conference Road trip, the Heat were led by Tyler Herro (26 points).
