The Utah Jazz (15 - 28) defeated the Milwaukee Bucks (21 - 21) 101 - 99 Thursday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. Utah had an eight - point lead late in the fourth quarter, but Milwaukee stormed back to cut it to a one - possession game with seven seconds remaining. Brandon Knight had an open look with the clock ticking, but the shot rimmed out and the Bucks dropped their second game in a row at home. Utah entered the game having lost five of its last six contests, but was able to steal a win on the road in Milwaukee. The Jazz had a patch work starting five, with Derrick Favors missing the game for personal reasons and Trey Burke being replaced in the starting lineup for rookie Dante Exum. The rookie rose to the challenge, however, scoring 15 points and adding five assists. The Jazz are off on Friday before returning home to face the Nets on Saturday. Milwaukee has now lost its last two games by a combined five points but are still well - positioned in the top heavy Eastern Conference. Despite shooting 45% from the floor and forcing 22 turnovers, the Bucks were unable to secure the win on Thursday. Giannis Antetokounmpo had a solid game, adding 13 points, six rebounds, and five steals. The Bucks are also idle Friday before hosting the Pistons on Saturday to wrap up their four - game home stand.
