MILWAUKEE — With a garbage-time three, the Nuggets extended an impressive streak. But there was nothing impressive about their performance Monday night.
Giannis Antetokounmpo dominated with 36 points and 18 rebounds on 14 of 19 shooting, and the Bucks demolished the Nuggets, 112-95 on Monday night at Fiserv Forum. Denver narrowly avoided consecutive 20-point losses for the first time of the Nikola Jokic and Michael Malone era after trailing by 28 in the fourth quarter.
The Nuggets (36-18) have one more game before the All-Star break, a home rematch with the Kings after a 135-106 rout in Sacramento last Friday.
