Make it four straight wins for the Milwaukee Bucks. They’d knock off the New Orleans Pelicans 129-125 Thursday night at Fiserv Forum.
The Bucks would start things out stringing together a few very nice possessions, quickly mounting a 20-12 advantage. Hot shooting (54.2% from the floor) would grant Milwaukee a lead throughout, and a Giannis Antetokounmpo 3-pointer splashed in the waning seconds padded the home team’s lead to 35-31 after one.
Despite the hot shooting, the Pelicans would keep right with the Bucks. The main reason? The explosive play of Zion Williamson. He was just a bull that kept running downhill.
