NBA wrap: Antetokounmpo helps Bucks dominate Nets; Rockets beat Suns

New York, February 5: The Milwaukee Bucks came to play on Monday, cruising past the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA.

Milwaukee dominated in their 113-94 win against a cold Nets squad.

Brooklyn only converted five of their 42 three-point attempts and shot just 32.4 per cent from the field. Meanwhile, Giannis Antetokounmpo was on fire.

Antetokounmpo flirted with a triple-double, posting 30 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists on 12-of-19 shooting.

D'Angelo Russell led Brooklyn with 18 points on seven-of-20 shooting.

Milwaukee have now won four straight and sit atop the Eastern Conference standings.

Drummond dominates

Andre Drummond's 27 points and 12 rebounds led the Detroit Pistons to a 129-103 victory over the Denver Nuggets.

Jeff Green recorded a season-high 26 points against the Atlanta Hawks, but the Washington Wizards fell short 137-129.

James Harden tallied 44 points, eight rebounds and six assists in the Houston Rockets' 118-110 win over the Phoenix Suns.

Woeful Williams

Kenrich Williams scored eight points on three-of-13 shooting in the New Orleans Pelicans' 109-107 loss to the Indiana Pacers.
