The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Denver Nuggets, 107-99, at Fiserv Forum on Wednesday night.

The two squads combined for 42 turnovers and the visitors were held to 39.2 shooting.

Aaron Gordon led the Nuggets with a 26-point, 14-rebound double-double that also included four assists and two blocks. Bones Hyland furnished 15 points, two boards, one assist and one steal.
