Nikola Mirotic, Milwaukee Bucks overwhelm New Orleans Pelicans 130-113 despite triple-double effort from Elfrid Payton

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks took care of business on their trip to New Orleans, taking down the Pelicans 130-113.

There is only so much that a team as shorthanded as the Pelicans (30-40) could have done against the team with the best record in the league (51-17), and they probably did it. The score was as close as seven in the fourth quarter after a Darius Miller three, but the outcome never really seemed in doubt.

That Miller triple was one of his three on the evening, but the rest of the team struggled mightily from deep.
