Bucks.Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 30 points and Parker added 28 in leading
Milwaukee to a 108-97 victory over the Chicago Bulls.Milwaukee led the entire
game and held a 24-point advantage early in the fourth quarter but had to hold
on to snap a three-game losing streak, its longest of the season.Antetokounmpo
has totaled 88 points and 35 rebounds in his last three games, and Parker has
reached at least 27 points in four of his past five.If were just being judged on
points, then theyre playing really well, Bucks coach Jason Kidd said. But its
not all about points. Unfortunately, thats all you guys write about. Its a team
game, but it comes down to winning and doing your job. Both of those guys did
their jobs tonight.Chicago lost for the fifth time in seven games and dropped
its third straight on the road despite 21 points from Jimmy Butler and 20 from
Dwyane Wade. The Bulls also got 19 points from Taj Gibson in the opener of a
home-and-home between the teams on back-to-back nights.The Bucks went up 95-71
on a dunk by Antetokounmpo with 10:01 remaining. Chicago cut the deficit in half
by scoring the next 12 points, with 10 of them coming from Wade. His two free
throws trimmed the margin to 95-83 with 7:14 to go.Milwaukee led by at least
eight the rest of the way, marking just the second time this season the Bucks
never trailed in a game.I think everybody did a great job keeping the lead,
Antetokounmpo said. Its hard to keep a lead for 24 minutes, for a half. Its hard
sometimes.The Bucks biggest lead of the night was 27 on a dunk by Tony Snell
that made it 58-31 with 3:40 left in the second quarter.The advantage was 64-45
at halftime, as Antetokounmpo (20), Parker (17) and Mirza Teletovic (10)
combined to outscore Chicago by two points.Milwaukee shot 80 percent (8 for 10)
from 3-point range while Chicago was 1 for 9 (11.1 percent) from beyond the arc
in the first two quarters.They were too comfortable early, Bulls coach Fred
Hoiberg said. We didnt want to give them dare shots, we wanted to keep them out
of the paint, and they were hitting them.TIP-INSBulls: Rajan Rondo returned to
the starting lineup after missing Tuesdays game against Minnesota because of a
right ankle sprain. ... Butler has 79 points in his last three games and has
scored at least 20 in 18 of his last 19 outings. ... Chicago lost at Milwaukee
for just the fifth time in the last 15 games.Bucks: There was a moment of
silence following the death of longtime TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager, and
Milwaukee players wore Sager Strong T-shirts during pregame warmups that
resembled the outfit he wore at the recent ESPYs. Even mascot Bango donned a
funky blue sport coat and plaid pants in Sagers honor. ... Michael Beasley
missed his first game of the season with a left foot sprain.STRONG
DIVISIONMilwaukee improved to 12-12, making the Central Division the only one in
the NBA with every team at .500 or better.LETS PLAY TWONot only does Milwaukee
play Chicago on consecutive nights, the Bucks also play back-to-back games
against Cleveland on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then against Washington on Dec.
23 and Dec. 26. Scouting reports are easy, quipped Kidd.TRADE TALKMilwaukee
traded Michael Carter-Williams to Chicago for Tony Snell on Oct. 17.
Carter-Williams has missed the last 22 games for the Bulls with knee and wrist
injuries, while Snell has started all but two games for the Bucks.UP NEXTBulls:

.5 seconds to play in the game, Kevin Love never stopped believing that they
would come out of there with a win. TORONTO -- DeMar DeRozan, Kyle Lowry and the
Toronto Raptors pushed aside the Minnesota Timberwolves -- again.With Toronto
down 95-94 with 8:46 left, DeRozan and Lowry keyed a 17-4 Raptors run that took
the game away from the youthful Timberwolves. Toronto eventually pulled out a
124-110 victory, handing Minnesota its 13th straight loss at the Air Canada
Centre.We just picked it up, DeRozan said. We kicked in our experience of
understanding how we have to win games. We cant underestimate a team like that
that plays extremely hard.DeRozan had a team-high 27 points for the Raptors,
Lowry added 25 points with 11 assists, and Jonas Valanciunas registered his
team-leading sixth double-double on 20 points and 10 rebounds.We just have guys
that are used to it, trying to come through at the end of games and sticking
with the game plan and sticking with the course of action, Lowry said.After
Toronto fell behind 11-2, coach Dwane Casey sat all his starters except for
DeRozan in an attempt to get kick-start his team into action. Toronto still
trailed by 10 at the end of the first quarter, but it sent a message.We can be a
good team, but we cant be special if we allow things to happen that happened in
the first two quarters, Casey said.His counterpart, Tom Thibodeau, shared that
sentiment, especially after seeing his team enter the final 12 minutes with the
lead, 89-88. However, the Timberwolves could only shoot 38.9 percent in the
final quarter, allowing the Raptors to outscore them 36-21.I thought the first
three quarters were very good, connected, making the right reads, right plays,
ball movement and screening a lot of good things happened, Thibodeau said. Then
in the fourth quarter we got away from that.Zach LaVine led all Timberwolves
scorers with 29 points, while Andrew WWiggins, playing in his homtown for the
third time in the NBA, had 25.ddddddddddddHowever, the loss didnt take off too
much of the shine playing in front of family and friends for the Canadian, who
is still waiting for his first taste of NBA victory on home soil.We need to get
that first win here for it to be really good, but its always good to play back
home, he said.TIP-INSTimberwolves: Minnesota fell to 2-14 when allowing 100 or
more points. The Timberwolves have had double-digit first-half leads in 11 of
their 22 games. The 37 points that Toronto scored in the second quarter were the
most Minnesota has given up in a second quarter this season.Raptors: Wore their
blue-and-white Toronto Huskies uniforms for the second time this season.
Uniforms are replicas of those worn by the Huskies during the NBAs inaugural
season in 1946-47. DeRozan played his 543rd game for the Raptors, breaking a tie
with Morris Peterson for the most in team history. Toronto successfully
converted 10-or-more 3-pointers for an eighth straight game, extending its
franchise record. Raptors are 10-1 this season when Carroll scores 10 or more
points.HE SAID ITAll his shots are lucky. To me its a bad shot. -- DeRozan
jokingly about Lowry, who with 5:41 to go in the third quarter drained a 31-foot
jump shot, one of the five 3-pointers he had on the night.RING IT UPBefore the
opening tip-off, USA Basketball mens national team director Sean Ford presented
DeRozan and Lowry with their Team USA Olympic championship rings. The pair
helped the U.S. win its third straight gold medal in August.UP NEXTTimberwolves:
Host Detroit on Friday night.Raptors: At Boston on Friday night.
