Nigerian Freak Giannis Antetokounmpo bags triple-double as the Milwaukee Bucks blow out Sacramento Kings.

At Fiserv Forum, the Milwaukee Bucks overcame the scorching Sacramento Kings 130-115.

The Bucks dominated the game, scoring 47 points in the first quarter and 75 points at the half. It was their highest-scoring game of the year.

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 15 of his 33 points and Lillard scored 10 of his 24 in the pivotal quarter as he recorded his sixth triple-double of the season.

Lillard had seven assists and five rebounds, while Antetokounmpo also had 13 assists and 11 rebounds.

The Bucks never truly lost control of the game, despite a strong fourth-quarter comeback by the Kings, who had won seven straight games under interim head coach Doug Christie.

Before each club pulled its normal rotation players, Lopez scored 21 points and the Bucks bench, which included AJ Green, Bobby Portis Jr., Ryan Rollins, and Pat Connaughton, scored 39 points.

Despite having strong raw numbers, Kings' star players Domantas Sabonis and DeAaron Fox had no effect as the Kings were outplayed.

The Bucks are on the front end of a back-to-back as they take on the Orlando Magic tomorrow in a monster Eastern Conference match up.
