The Milwaukee Bucks claimed their third victory in-a-row by a 130-115 score against Detroit Wednesday.
The Bucks and Pistons showed their support for social justice causes briefly as the game started. They decided to do it after the Kenosha County D-A didn’t charge a police officer for shooting Jacob Blake last summer.
When the game got underway, hot shooting from outside the 3-point arc helped them build a big lead.
The Bucks built a lead as big as 34 points in the third period before coasting to the victory. Detroit cut the lead to 16 points in the fourth period, but never got it to single digits.
Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 25 points and Khris Middleton added 23.
Milwaukee’s record improves to 5-and-3 with a Friday game at home against Utah coming up next.
