The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers, 114-105, at Fiserv Forum on Thursday night.

The Bucks (43-24) didn't play like the home favorites they were early, emerging from first quarter on the wrong end of a 29-24 score. The 76ers (36-30) then added another three points to their advantage before halftime, but Milwaukee was able to shave five points from its deficit in the third quarter. That set up a hotly contested final period, one in which the hosts clicked on both ends of the floor on the way to a 34-22 advantage and relatively comfortable victory.

Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 30 points, adding four rebounds and four assists. Tobias Harris delivered 15 points, four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block. Cameron Payne tallied 13 points, two assists and one rebound. Kyle Lowry collected 12 points and two boards.

Giannis Antetokounmpo paced the Bucks with a 32-point, 11-rebound double-double that included seven assists and one steal. Brook Lopez supplied 19 points, seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal. Damian Lillard finished with 17 points, nine assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block. A.J. Green contributed 14 points, five boards and one steal.

The 76ers return home to host the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday night, while the Bucks host the Phoenix Suns on Sunday afternoon.
