All five starters scored in double figures as the Bucks won
their third straight in their first meeting of the season with
the Kings.
Domantas Sabonis had a 23-point, 12-rebound double-double for
Sacramento, which trailed most of the way but got within 99-98
with 10:27 to play on a Davion Mitchell hoop.
A Sabonis layup had the Kings down just 109-105 with still 6:15
to play, but Antetokounmpo dropped in two interior hoops and two
free throws, sandwiching a Grayson Allen layup, in an
eight-point run that put the hosts up 12 and broke the game
open.
Antetokounmpo shot 12-for-19 and Holiday 12-for-23 in the second
game this season in which both scored at least 30 points. Both
players had 34 in a home win over the Atlanta Hawks in October.
Antetokounmpo added 9-for-10 at the free throw line, where the
Bucks enjoyed a 20-15 advantage in points.
Brook Lopez (17 points with a team-high nine rebounds), Kris
Middleton (14) and Allen (10) also scored in double figures for
Milwaukee, which was playing its only home game in a stretch of
four of five on the road.
All five starters made two 3-pointers each, as did reserve Pat
Connaughton, as the Bucks shot 14-for-33 from beyond the arc and
outscored the visitors 42-36 from deep.
Sabonis made nine of his 11 shots and also found time to tie
Antetokounmpo for game-high assist honors with seven.
Harrison Barnes backed Sabonis with 20 points for Sacramento,
while Malik Monk added 16, De'Aaron Fox and Keegan Murray had 15
apiece and Kevin Huerter scored 13.
Murray and Huerter drilled three 3-pointers each.
The Kings saw a three-game winning streak come to an end despite
shooting 47.3 percent, nearly identical to the Bucks' 47.9
percent.
