Houston Rockets at Milwaukee Bucks

Durant scores 31 points, leads fourth-quarter comeback as Rockets beat Bucks 122-115

The Rockets trailed most of the way before outscoring the Bucks 22-7 over the last 4 minutes, 33 seconds.

Durant then hit a pull-up jumper to put Houston back in front with 1:42 left. Antetokounmpo had a chance to tie it when he got fouled with 1:29 remaining, but missed both free throws.

Sengun then made a basket to extend Houston’s lead to 117-113 with 1:09 remaining. Antetokounmpo hit the first of two free throws with 38 seconds left to get the Bucks within three, but he missed his second attempt.
