Giannis Antetokounmpo put up 38 points as his Milwaukee Bucks outscored New Orleans Thursday night 129-125.
It was the fourth straight victory for the Bucks.
The Pelicans grabbed a brief one-point lead with two minutes left, but Antetokounmpo hit a jumper, then grabbed a rebound and took it baseline-to-baseline for a dunk.
He became the first Milwaukee Bucks player since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1973 to score at least 35 points in three straight games.
Antetokounmpo got 31-point help from Khris Middleton and another 24 points from Donte DiVincenzo.
Point guard Jrue Holiday was unavailable for the 10th straight game.
The Bucks will host the L-A Clippers in a game Sunday.
