The Milwaukee Bucks (26 - 36) secured a 116 - 101 home win against the young Minnesota Timberwolves (19 - 43) on Friday. The Bucks have had a disappointing season thus far, after a surprising trip to the playoffs in 2014 - 15. However, the young core of Khris Middleton, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Jabari Parker have steadily gained experience over the course of the season. Middleton was a force to be reckoned with on Friday, leading the game with 32 points on 11 - for - 16 shooting. Antetokounmpo, meanwhile, approached a triple - double with 27 points, nine rebounds, 12 assists, three steals, and two blocks. The "Greek Freak" stuffed the stat sheet on Friday, just a week after his first career triple - double. Despite stellar shooting, 25 team turnovers killed the young and rising Timberwolves on Friday. Rookie of the Year frontrunner Karl-Anthony Towns led the team with 21 points on 10 - of - 14 shooting. However, the 20 - year - old star also contributed four turnovers in what was a messy offensive game for the Wolves. It was a similar story for sophomore Zach LaVine, who had 20 points but turned the ball over six times. The Wolves will play host to the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday, while the Bucks will have a home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday.
