The Milwaukee Bucks dominated the Utah Jazz with a 123-100 victory on Thursday, snapping a six-game losing streak and signaling a much-needed turnaround. Damian Lillard led the charge, scoring 34 points and dishing out seven assists, while Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered a double-double with 31 points and a game-high 16 rebounds. The Bucks have now improved to a 2-6 balance and sit in 13th place on East, while the Jazz hold the worst record in the NBA with just 1 win and 7 losses.

The game saw Milwaukee seize control in the third quarter, where Lillard and Antetokounmpo combined for 22 of the Bucks’ 31 points, extending their lead to 88-77 heading into the fourth and maintaining a double-digit advantage throughout the final period.

Bobby Portis contributed 19 points off the bench, further solidifying Milwaukee’s offensive output. Meanwhile, Utah’s Jordan Clarkson led his team with 18 points, with Collin Sexton adding 14 points and seven assists. The Jazz, who had recently broken their own losing streak, struggled to keep pace with the Bucks’ offensive firepower.
