Giannis Antetokounmpo had 32 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists, as the Milwaukee Bucks pulled away for a 144-122 victory Wednesday night over the Brooklyn Nets.

Giannis Antetokounmpo went off against a Nets team that rested three starters and barely played two others on the night after a victory in Detroit that extended the Pistons’ losing streak to 27, an NBA single-season record.

A near triple-double on 83% shooting in 30 minutes.

Their rotation featuring several rookies and players on two-way contracts put up a good fight for three quarters before the Bucks put them away.

Milwaukee led by only one before a 9-2 spurt in the final 1:25 of the third quarter to make it 100-92. Another flurry early in the fourth extended it to 13 and the Bucks would eventually extend it beyond 20.

The Bucks outscored the Nets 44-30 in the fourth.
