If the Bucks defense was impressive in the Friday victory at Chicago, the offense might have been ever better Saturday.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo sitting it out with a sore knee, Milwaukee outscored the Sacramento Kings 133-127.
Khris Middleton scored 34 points and Jrue Holiday had another 26.
When the Kings wiped out a 15-point Bucks lead, Middleton hit an important 3-pointer, then slammed a left-handed dunk to put his team up by six with 47 seconds left.
He also hit four straight free throws.
The Bucks were good on 21-of-42 3-pointers.
They return to action Wednesday with a game against the Cavaliers in Cleveland.
Those teams have split their first two meetings.
