Detroit Pistons at Milwaukee Bucks
· National Basketball Association
Bucks lose Antetokounmpo to injury early but rally past Pistons 113-109
AJ Green had 19 points and Jericho Sims finished with a career-high 15 points and tied a career best with 14 rebounds as Milwaukee won for just the second time in 10 games.
Antetokounmpo left with what the Bucks said was a right calf strain, not long after coach Doc Rivers said before the game there have been no talks between team officials and the two-time MVP about a potential exit from Milwaukee.
Tobias Harris had 20 points, Cade Cunningham 17 and Jaden Ivey 15 for the Pistons, who had won 15 of 17.
Sims' three-point play with 1:34 remaining gave the Bucks a 109-108 lead. A pair of free throws by Rollins with 13 seconds left pushed the Bucks' lead to three. After a Detroit miss, Green sealed the win with a pair of free throws.
The Pistons led 27-9 in the first quarter. The Bucks closed the gap to 52-49 at the half with Porter tallying 16 first-half points.
The Bucks took their first lead at 56-55 early in the third quarter on Myles Turner’s 3-pointer but Detroit held an 85-78 lead at the end of the period.
Late in the third, Milwaukee’s Bobby Portis and Detroit’s Isaiah Stewart had a heated exchange after Portis fouled Stewart in the lane. A double technical foul was called, leading to the ejection of Stewart, who was whistled for a technical earlier in the quarter.
Bucks: Host Philadelphia on Friday night.
