The Milwaukee Bucks (19 - 18) defeated the Philadelphia 76ers (5 - 29) 97 - 77 on Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The Bucks out - shot the Sixers by a large margin in this one, going 54 percent from the field and 47 percent from the three - point line, while the Sixers went just 30 percent from the floor and a meager eight percent from beyond the arc. It was a sloppy game all - around though, as both teams turned the ball over more than 23 times. Despite shooting 18 less free throws, the Bucks still secured the 20 - point victory. The Bucks' backcourt of Brandon Knight and Khris Middleton did the bulk of the damage in this one. Knight went 6 - for - 12 from the field and 4 - for - 7 from the three - point line to score 18 points, while also adding five assists. He's had the hot hand lately and is averaging 21 points per game over his last five outings. Middleton on the other hand had a very efficient 18 points (7 - 9 FG, 2 - 2 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT) of his own, but did it on the defensive side of the ball as well with five steals. The five steals were a season - high for Middleton. The Bucks did have a strong showing from their bench as well. O.J. Mayo recorded 15 points (6 - 11 FG, 2 - 6 3Pt, 1 - 2 FT) and six assists, while Jarryd Bayless went a perfect 6 - for - 6 from the floor to score 12 points of his own. Bayless did a little bit of everything in this game, as he also chipped in five rebounds, four assists and two steals. The Sixers had a brutal showing offensively, marked by a combined 2 - for - 25 from the three - point line as a team. They were led in scoring by rookie guard K.J. McDaniels, who went 5 - for - 8 from the field and 4 - for - 4 from the free throw line to score 14 points, while also adding six rebounds. He's now put together a couple of solid games in a row, with 26 points over those two games. The only other starter to reach double figures in points was Nerlens Noel. Noel had 13 points (6 - 10 FG, 1 - 2 FT), five rebounds and two blocks in 28 minutes. He's now had two blocks in three out of his last four games, continuing to make an impact on the defensive side of the ball. Michael Carter-Williams, who normally is the leader of this team, really struggled with his shot, going 1 - for - 13 from the field and 0 - for - 4 from the three - point line to finish with five points. The Bucks' next game will be at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, while the Sixers will travel to Brooklyn to play the Nets on Friday.
