Milwaukee Bucks 150-130 win over the Detroit Pistons

Khris Middleton, a three-time All-Star, joined the two-time MVP, uniting the Bucks' dynamic combo for the first time in more than a month. Antetokounmpo has been sidelined due to left knee discomfort. Middleton scored eight points and four assists despite not having played since December 15 because of a strained right knee. The Bucks lead Detroit by 25 points after Antetokounmpo made all six of his shots in the first eight and a half minutes, falling two short of the NBA record.

Milwaukee ended with a season-high in points in a game that was never competitive beyond the first few minutes, leading 83-55 at halftime and 115-92 after three quarters. Fortunately, the Bucks kept possession of the ball and were penalized for a shot clock violation in the closing seconds when they were three points shy of tying the NBA record for most points scored by a club this season.
