The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Houston Rockets 127 - 114 Monday at BMO Harris Bradley Center. Not even a week after the Bucks (21 - 23) got blown out by the Rockets (34 - 14) in Houston, they return the favor on their home floor in Milwaukee, as the Bucks' young stars put on a show to earn the victory and end the team's five - game losing streak. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way with a game - high 31 points on top of seven points, three rebounds and four blocked shots, while Jabari Parker had an impressive all - around game himself, recording 28 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 39 minutes. The two also combined to shoot a combined 22 - of - 36 from the field on a night where the entire team was finding their stroke. Overall, Milwaukee shot a ridicluous 59 percent from the field and 48 percent from behind the arc; numbers the very efficient Rockets could n't even match. As for those Rockets, they did still shoot the ball very well in the loss, hitting 40 percent of their shots from behind the arc 50 percent from the field overall. James Harden fell a rebound shy of a triple - double, as he finished with a team - high 26 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds, but he also recorded 11 turnovers. Additionally, a big storyline headed into Monday's matchup was the return of Wisconsin-born Sam Dekker to his home state fresh off a career - high 30 point performance in his first career start. Monday did not go as well for the young Rocket in his return to the bench, however, as he managed just four points on 2 - of - 7 shooting in 16 minutes. Up next, the Bucks will stay home Wednesday to take on the 76ers, while the Rockets will head to Boston on Wednesday to play the Celtics.
