The host Milwaukee Bucks defeated the short-handed Washington Wizards, who were playing without three-time All-Star Bradley Beal, by a 112-98 score Tuesday at Fiserv Forum.
Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo posted a 33-point, 15-rebound, 11-assist triple-double. He scored 13 fourth-quarter points and led Milwaukee on a 17-2 run down the stretch.
All five Bucks starters scored 10 or more points, with Jrue Holiday posting 22.
Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma had 25 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks to lead Washington, which trailed by as many as 17 points but came all the way back and took an 86-83 lead early in the fourth.
Beal, who leads Washington with 23.2 points per game, sat with a sprained left wrist. The team has already confirmed that he will also miss at least one more matchup.
The Bucks got back in the win column to move to 32-21 after suffering one of their worst losses of the year, a 136-100 defeat at home to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. The free-falling Wizards have lost six straight to drop to 23-27.
