MILWAUKEE -- Giannis Antetokounmpo notched his second triple-double of the season to power the Milwaukee Bucks to a lopsided 144-109 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday afternoon at the Fiserv Forum.
The Greek Freak's 26 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists delighted a near sold-out crowd of 17,341 who witnessed the Bucks soar to an 8-1 record, second-best in the Eastern Conference behind the 9-1 Toronto Raptors. The Kings, meanwhile, saw their five-game win streak come to an abrupt halt and fell to 6-4 for sixth place in the Western Conference.
After trailing early on --- 14-7 at the 8:45 mark of the opening quarter --- the Bucks turned on their high-octane offense and took a 72-50 halftime which they never relinquished. Milwaukee set a franchise record of 22 made threes on 56 attempts, also a team record.
As good as Antetokounmpo was, he got plenty of help. Eric Bledsoe had 17 points and Ersan Ilyasova had 15. Pat Connaughton and Malcolm Brogdon each had 13 while Tony Snell and Kris Middleton added 12 points apiece. John Henson pitched in 10 for Milwaukee, which converted 46 of 95 field goals and 30 of 33 free throws.
Justin Jackson and Buddy Hield led the Kings with 22 and 19, respectively. But Sacramento misfired from long distance (14 of 36) and missed too many free throws (11 of 22).
