Pat Connaughton helped the Bucks avoid blowing another big lead against the New York Knicks Wednesday.
Connaughton scored a season-high 23 points in the 112-100 victory.
Milwaukee had blown a 20-point lead against the Knicks last week and had a 70-46 edge in the third quarter this time.
New York reserves wiped out all of that lead, but Connaughton nailed a trio of three-pointers in the closing minutes.
He had a career-high seven three-pointers in the game.
Giannis Antetokounmpo turned playmaker, scoring only 15 points, but taking down 15 rebounds and handing out eight assists.
The Bucks visit Boston in game-four of the five-game road trip Friday night.
