Antetokounmpo scores 35 points, Bucks win 13th straight

By The Associated Press
DETROIT (AP) — Giannis
Antetokounmpo scored 35
points to lift the Milwaukee
Bucks to their 13th con-
secutive victory, 127-103
over the Detroit Pistons on
Wednesday night.
The last time the Bucks had
a longer winning streak
than this was when they
won 16 in a row spanning
the end of the 1972-73 sea-
son and the beginning of
1973-74. They also had a 13-
game run shortly after that
16-game streak ended.
Milwaukee had won its
previous two games by 41
and 44 points, and the Pis-
tons had won their previous
two by 34 and 33. This one
wasn’t close, either. The
Bucks have dominated De-
troit of late. Milwaukee won
all eight matchups with the
Pistons last season — four in
the regular season and four
in the first round of the play-
offs. The Bucks also beat
Detroit last month in their
first meeting of 2019-20. Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (25) passes as Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (11) defends during the second half of an
