‘It was cool’

‘It was cool’

LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo sparked the Milwaukee Bucks over Oklahoma City in a Sunday showdown of National Basketball Association contenders while James Harden lost his first meeting with Philadelphia since the 76ers traded him.
Antetokounmpo scored 30 points and grabbed a season-high 19 rebounds to lead Milwaukee over visiting Oklahoma, 118-93.
Khris Middleton added his second career triple-double — and first since 2018 — with 11 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for the Bucks, whose defensive effort kept the Thunder to a season-low point production on 37.1 percent shooting.
"It was cool," Middleton said of his rare feat.
"My teammates were knocking down a lot of shots for me. It was a good win against a good team. But we've got to keep building on this for the rest of the season."

Oklahoma City fell to 49-21, tumbling a half-game behind Denver for the Western Conference lead and a half-game ahead of third-place Minnesota.
Milwaukee improved to 46-25, second in the Eastern Conference by three games over Cleveland.
Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored only 12 points, his second-worst game total of the season. It snapped a 29-game run of at least 20 points a game for the NBA's No. 2 overall scorer, who is just ahead of Antetokounmpo.
"They were firing on all cylinders,"
Gilgeous-Alexander said.
"They have guys who have won a lot in this league. We had a chance to see where we stack up against that. Didn't go our way, how we wanted to perform, but a lot of lessons learned."
