Nets rest 3 starters, barely play 2 others in blowout loss to Bucks
NEW YORK -- Giannis Antetokounmpo had 32 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, Khris Middleton added 27 points and 10 assists, and the Milwaukee Bucks pulled away for a 144-122 victory Wednesday night over a Brooklyn Nets team that treated it like a preseason game.
The Nets 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.
Their rotation featuring a number of rookies and players on two-way contracts put up a good fight for three quarters before the Bucks put them away.
