Khris Middleton also contributed with 20 points and all-time high 12 assists. His last pass on the floor was a thing of beauty, converted by Antetokounmpo by a dunk with just 1:39 minutes remaining on the clock and Bucks leading 120-110. Nikola Jokic’ 35 points and 12 rebounds were overshadowed by Bucks, his all-time high 50 points against Sacramento hyped the match a lot. Nuggets lost their third match even with Will Barton’s season-high 24 points.
