Giannis Antetokounmpo showcased his dominance with 36 points, leading the Milwaukee Bucks (36-18) to a commanding 112-95 victory over the Denver Nuggets (35-19) on Monday night.
The Bucks’ defensive improvement was evident as they held the reigning NBA champions to under 100 points for the second consecutive game, a first for Milwaukee this season.
Despite Nikola Jokic’s standout performance with 29 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists for the Nuggets, injuries to key players Jamal Murray and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope hindered Denver’s efforts.
