Denver Deadly From Long Range (24-of-40 3-Pointers) At Milwaukee

The Denver Nuggets connected on 24-of-40 3-point shots while taking a 134-123 win at Milwaukee Thursday night.  Forward Nikola Jokic had a triple-double with two minutes to go in the first half and finished with 30 points, 15 rebounds and 17 assists.  The Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo matched him with a triple-double of his own — 36 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists.  Milwaukee trailed most of the game, but pulled with five, 83-78, midway through the third period.  Denver went on a 12-3 run and wasn’t threatened again.  The Bucks open the second half of the season after the All-Star break with a game at Toronto next Thursday.
