In a commanding performance, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard led the Milwaukee Bucks to a 123-100 victory over the Utah Jazz. The Bucks overcame a halftime deficit, outscoring the Jazz 31-16 in the third quarter, marking a much-needed end to their six-game losing streak.
Despite Jordan Clarkson's efforts for the Jazz, who scored 18 points, the team struggled with efficiency and dropped to the worst record in the NBA. Key players Lauri Markkanen and Clarkson returned but failed to make a significant impact.
Rookies Isaiah Collier and Kyle Filipowski were surprisingly benched, with veterans receiving more playing time. Johnny Juzang stood out for the Jazz, showcasing his shooting ability but still limited in minutes.
